Digital painting of a Great Horned Owl. The artist replicated oil type brush strokes with much of the painting consisting of loose brush strokes. The owl is looking at the viewer directly on and the artist used blue, white, light orange and brown colors for the drawing. They also included a signature and date made in the far most bottom left corner of the painting.

Wolf - First drawing of the New Year!! I haven't done digital inking in quite awhile so I'm pretty happy with how it came out and I look forward to creating more pieces this year!

In 2025 I really got back into traditional media, learned a lot more about working in 3D, and painted many, many dinosaurs. Cheers to 2026, and may we all paint more of what we love #paleoart #dinosaurart #tellmeaboutyourfavoritedinosaur

Digital painting of a cow. The cow is made of up both brown and white with the brown be spotted in some areas and the white being the main color of the cow. The cow is eating grass and has its head obscured from one side and we mostly see the side view of the cow. The background is a blend of light and dark greens and the grass is a more mustardy yellow green. The artists's signature is in the bottom right corner and the date is added as 2024.

Well, 2025 was the year I exhibited (and sold) 2 drawings in an actual real exhibition, surrounded by incredible pieces of art. I'd like to thank everyone who has liked, shared, commented on or even just looked at my work this year. You lot are awesome.

β€œBefore the Storm”. Coloured pencil and oil pastel on watercolour paper. While I didn’t want to pet this hyena, or get any closer, he did intrigue me, and the artist in me was captivated by the textures of fur and muzzle. #SciArt

Warm grey background. Warm Toned brown paper with a black ink handmade sketch of Spotted deer a four-legged mammal, two ears, long nose, black eyes, left fore-leg stretched forward.  Spots on the back of the mammal. Short tail, furry body. Hind legs forming a "V" shape, my fingers holding a bamboo brush with a sharp brush tip. Left hand corner is my signature. 
It’s been exactly 2 months since I survived Heller’s myotomy. Life is about celebrating every day, and I am grateful for all the prayers, blessings and people who stand by me during this critical juncture of my life. 
Spending most of my days resting, watching birds and sketching occasionally. I am not active on the net or sharing my sketches and artwork. 
Realizing that every moment is precious and I wish to spend it with my loved ones and people dear to me. Doing things, I love the most and engaging in activities that give me peace and happiness.
Sharing one of my sketches from my deer studies from Bannerghatta National Park. 
Wishing you all a successful week ahead!

Detailed watercolor painting of a pair of pine grosbeaks perched on a spruce branch. The male is on the left of the image and light-red with black and white wings. The female is standing in front of the male's tail and is gray with orange-yellow on her head with black and white wings.

It's going to be a big finch year, and I've been seeing reports of Pine Grosbeaks in Northern MN already! I painted these in 2023, shortly after the first and only time I've seen these lovely birds.

Feeling tired of Watercolor. Got a new sketchbook that doesnt take it well but takes pencil amazing. So Instead I colored a traditional sketch digitally. Have not digitally colored in a while so this is a nice change of pace. What do you think? #digital #sciart #bugsky #sketchbook #sketches

A male and female kajil pheasant with one leg forward sort of bow to each other. The male on the left has blueish tones and a large, flamboyant tail. The female on the right has a mostly brown and white tipped feather pattern with some blue tones at the edge of the wing and her tail. Both have red patches surrounding their eyes.

Oh I could not resist drawing both of these male and female Kajil Pheasants for #Birdtober! I love how they look like they’re making a courtly bow to each other. Lol.
