Gazing at a Green Meadow: Medieval Cloisters and No-Mow Chaucer There’s history, and there’s the kind of gentle, small-scale thought about history that drops quietly into your brain - the opposite of a revelation.

I wrote about medieval optics, the colour green, and how No Mow May shifted the way I imagined the past. lucyallengoss.substack.com/p/gazing-at-...

A hand holding a small sketchbook showing a drawing of a raven in ink, with gothic type that says "raven" to the upper right of the bird.

"As the raven first pecks out the eyes, so the devil first destroys the ability to judge correctly, leaving the mind open to attack" (bestiary.ca). Referring to ravens plucking the eyes of corpses out to eat the brains.

Flat illustration of a very fluffy Royal Albatross chick sitting on top a nest. A cloud pattern in the sky appears to be the the same albatross fluff!

It's blue raspberry flavor

An illustration of three flying monarch butterflies in various poses. They are bright orange butterflies with black wing veins and small white dotted markings on the edge of the wings. Black handwritten text reads “Migration is Magnificent”

Monarch butterflies journey thousands of miles across multiple generations, symbolizing new beginnings and the right we all have to move freely. We must stand with immigrants!! 🧡

The grackle sees, the grackle knows

I got this finished mug back yesterday #BirdArt

Some issues with the glaze (my fault) but overall super proud of it.

The disability is being disabling, hence the ongoing art dry spell here

Nice!!

A little Euplokamis dunlapae cteno with its tentacles out and loose, making some little rainbows with its ctenes for pride.

Happy Pride Month! You know who doesn't change their brand image to rainbow just for June?

Ctenophores. They make their gay little rainbows all year. It's a Pride parade in the ocean every day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. 366 every four years.

hand of glory, my fav

Woodpeckers (it's in the name) but specifically the acorn woodpecker

a digital drawing of a black capped chickadee surrounded by leaves. the text reads “queer birder” which refers to the gay/queer community of bird watchers! in a supportive silly way, of course.

happy pride month to my fellow queer birders 🌈

nature is for EVERYONE! 🏳️‍🌈

A diabolical ironclad beetle on some rocky ground with dry grass

The name's Ironclad. Diabolical Ironclad.

"The vulture is a slow-flying bird that eats corpses" (bestiary.ca) I saw a drawing of a vulture with a human foot in its mouth so I drew a vulture with a human foot in its mouth.

A hand holding a small sketchbook showing a drawing of a turkey vulture looking to the viewer's right and holding a severed human foot in its beak.

A hand holding a small sketchbook showing a drawing of an acorn woodpecker with an acorn in its beak, on the side of a tree that is way too small in comparison to the bird and looks like broccoli.

Almost forgot to post the final birds, so you're getting three at once. #MedievalMay days 29, 30 and 31 are titmouse, vulture, and woodpecker.

Thanks for following along with this challenge! It was fun and the first art challenge I've completed in full.
