Also, while this will be February's last card thanks to the winter break & more travelling, you can expect a bonus card or two when I get back πŸ‘€

Last card I'll manage in February: the kodkod or guiΓ±a, South America's smallest feline. Weighing only 2-2,5 kg, they're one of the smallest felines overall.

As usual, you can grab the card here: ko-fi.com/H2H25NWZP/shop All proceeds go to wild cat conservation.

Small graphite sketch of a Cooper's hawk perched on a tree branch, drawn in a tiny cream sketchbook. The hawk faces left with detailed feather texture and a sharp, watchful eye, rendered in 4B pencil. A hand holds the book with a silver mechanical pencil below.

Train ride to Toronto, tiny sketchbook open. Drew this Cooper's hawk from photos I took near downtown Ottawa. Pentel GraphGear 1000 .5 mm with 4B lead. They can pivot mid air to chase prey through trees. Sketching it felt steadier than the rails. #bird #sciart

A collection of barn owl paintings, made though the years. These are done in different media, like watercolor, acrylics and pencil.

Next card! I saw the reference, thought "this will be a PITA to draw", and was right - but it was also very much worth it.

As usual, you can grab the card here: ko-fi.com/beckykidus64... All proceeds go to wild cat conservation.

There is a certain beauty to old animals too - and this one is no different. Also looks like she's still fierce warrior!

A traditional piece from a few years ago that ended up on our xmas cards. Its a green woodpecker, Picus viridis, they sometimes visit our lawn, done with watercolor, markers and ink.

Illustration of a raven perched on stump. The background is a wintry lake and snowcapped mountains, with an aurora and stars in the sky.

"Billows"
10"x22" colored pencil on paper mounted to birch panel

I started this drawing of purple martins back in 2020 and it sat untouched until last week. Nothing like a gallery deadline to kick me into gear.

Something something #SuperbOwl?

This was the moment I realized I haven't drawn enough owls. Need to fix that sometime...
