Wide photo with brown borders of an old stone building with a woodframed square window in it that has a blue painted wood frame. Inside the window hang many birth-themed trinkets. Outside a table has been placed against the stone structure's exterior. There are additional arts and crafts on a wood table, including mugs with illustrated birds on them.
Seen in Hay-on-Wye during my trip last year to Hay Festival @hayfestival.bsky.social: The artist is Claire Vaughan. Just found her online:

I learned last week about Hay on Wye. I discovered it after stumbling onto a reel about Wigtown, Scotland. And then I wrote last week's email newsletter about book towns.
I believe I'm now in some heavenly algorithm so I'll see lots and lots about booktowns.

Interior of an old pub in the village of Hay-on-Wye, which you can just see a peek of outside the window. Photo taken at a wood table for four, with a big full glass sitting on it. A candle sits at the center of the table, lit up. There is a hallway in the background leading to another sitting area with benches.
#artadventcalendar #Dec29
Sit down for a while, chat with friends, relax and enjoy the scenery out the window. The year is nearly ended; reflect back on all you've done and what you want to achieve in the coming year.

This lovely great spotted woodpecker painting will be available for the first time this weekend on my stall at the Hay Castle Christmas fair. I did the painting back in 2020 but for some reason. Have never got around to framing it, until now! @haycastletrust #hayonwye #ellwoodart #ellwoodartuk

Its hilariously quiet. On a Thursday afternoon. In October. This is either someone's dream or nightmare. Very different to literary festival time. I don't mind it one bit. #HayOnWye

Photo of the speciemen of the rosy bonnet fungus, looking a little the worse for wear, alongside my illustration of it on a sheet of white paper. The mushroom has a pinkish brown silky cap, pale gills and a pale stipe flushed pink. Both specimen and illustrations have soil and moss and bits of dead leaf on the stipe.
My illustration of the Rosy bonnet #mushroom, cut to white #watercolor #sciart #botanicalillustration completed in #hayonwye. The mushroom has a pinkish brown silky cap, pale gills and a pale stipe flushed pink. The soil and moss and bits of dead leaf on the stipe have also been illustrated.
Had an amazing day at #Fungitown in #HayonWye today, sat upstairs painting this gorgeous pink-flushed Rosy bonnet #mushroom, Mycena rosea.
So many fascinating people to talk to , and so much sharing of #fungal inspiration and ideas. A privilege to be there
Come and say hi
,from 10 - 4pm tomorrow.

I visited Hay-on-Wye to celebrate my 1000 day streak of reading at least 1 page every day 📚
The streak counter is by far my favorite @thestorygraph.com feature 🤓
