And I shall CRUSH THEM!

A dirt road running through thick woods, three horses standing in the center.

Inspired by nature is the prompt for #mARTch today. Cumberland Island National Seashore offered this and of course I painted it. 11 x 14 in oils.

A single duck egg on a floor of straw in a structure made of pallets.

My domination of the national egg market has begun. With this egg I shall CRUSH MY ENEMIES! Or have it for breakfast tomorrow whichever comes first. 🦆

If ducks quack more or louder than usual it means you're walking toward them with peas and they know it.

Also, I have silver appleyards and they're great! 🦆

She looks like she's having a challenging year. Expression + bleak background = possible call for help.

Are those silver appleyards? We have some. They're great.

You'll have a much stronger connection when you throw peas. That duck won't stop talking about you for days. 🦆

Once again, ducks are the answer to a stupid news cycle that never ends. Go stare at some. Throw peas for peace. 🦆🦆🦆

Hot duck. 🦆🔥

He wants peas. I speak duck. Trust. 🦆

Best party. 🦆🦆🦆

Smokin' hot lady. 🦆

She's setting trends and leading the way. 🦆

Stop dating mechanics and mud farmers. 🦆

Raw dogging life on heartburn and time spent with ducks.

A white board with a jumble of math equations, cartoons, and memes written on it.

This is how the #chemistry department rolls on the top floor of the W. C. Morris building. Chemistry wasn't placed there for safety reasons per usual but to lord over the much larger #biology department.

A self portrait. Me, with a sparking electric cord connected to the side of my head.

First day of #Martch is #selfportrait. This is me trying to illustrate #hyperfocus, one of the ways my neurodivergence manifests itself. As exhilarating as it is exhausting. 11 x 14 in. Oils.

Four ducks on a garden mound with dead weeds everywhere.

Took advantage of the warm weather to clear out last year's weeds and stalks. Turn around and there's a crew of supervisors. Unnecessary in my opinion. 🌱🦆

Beams of Heaven as the #songoftheday treated with incredible skill by this #amateur church #choir at Beth Eden Baptist Church in #Chicago. Released 1974. One of my favorite recordings.

Just my weekly friendly reminder that #writing #Wikipedia articles can be a positive way to help defend facts. I wrote both of these and about 50 others. Ask me anything about getting started.
