No Kings Rally today in Myrtle Beach, SC. Ink and watercolor.

Happy #Inktober! Spotted lantern fly free-for-all on the front porch this afternoon. #invasiveinsects

Some excellent sketching today by @mikekaspari at Carter Mountain Orchard in C’Ville. #sketchbook

Our voodoo lily is in full bloom and has put out 4 flowers this year, each of which is nearly 2 feet long and looks and smells like rotten meat (pollinated by flies and beetles). The glorious evil queen of the garden. #dracunculusvulgaris

Sketches of a mottled owl in Costa Rica for Superb-Owl Sunday. #birdart #owls #sketches

That’s absolutely wonderful!

If I can post this for #birbfest, this is a field sketch of a great crested grebe from one of my Copenhagen sketchbooks. Cool bird. #BirdWhisperer #birdsketches #birbfest2025

Slush fun. #watercolorpainting #snow

After the snowfall, a little slush. #watercolorpainting #snow

Facebook, instagram, and now Bluesky.

Rare snowstorm here. I literally threw the kitchen sink at it. #watercolorpainting

A big art purge of my overstuffed flat file for New Year’s Eve. I’ve been terrifyingly productive these last years, but there’s a limit to space available. #organizing #artwork #culling

Watercolor through the window of an amazingly hardy, Oklahoma native Sabal palmetto I planted some years ago. It’s survived sub zero temperatures, ice storms, hail and snow. #zone7b #watercolorpainting #tropical

Some watercolor and gouache studies of persimmons and pears. My favorite winter fruits! #sketchbook

Field sketches of birds and howler monkeys from Panama and Peru. #sketchbooks

Studies of Peruvian Sparkling Violet ear hummingbirds, sketched from my Oklahoma desk. They raise their“ears” in aggression displays. Webcams are a wonderful tool. #hummingbirds #birdart #ensifera

Thanks!
