Digital illustration of a Eurasian Tree Sparrow. Perched on a thin twig, this bird has a rust-colored cap, black beak, black face mask and black patch below the eye. Otherwise much of the head and breast are white, with tan flanks, and a brown back with white wingbars. The bird is looking over its left shoulder.

Eurasian Tree Sparrow. I love how striking these guys are - sometimes you really have to stop and appreciate the beauty of a little brown bird! 🎨🪶🐡

they won’t get you hooked on the paid plan that way

Got an itch to do more linocut block printing! What's more glorious than an osprey catching fish?

Here's the Victoria Crowned Pigeon, a stunning species native to New Guinea. Although tame, it is sadly now becoming very elusive in the wild due to hunting :(

Any suggestions on what I should do next? :P Maybe some obscure endangered species?

Detailed watercolor painting of an eastern meadowlark standing in short grass.

Throwback Thursday to my very first Life List painting of an Eastern Meadowlark. I started this project during 2020 COVID lockdowns and am still going 5 years later!

My goal is to paint every wild bird I've seen. Currently working on 141/421!
