Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your hard work, Rebecca

The blue flower in the foreground is called Cupid's Dart. The yellow daisy-like flowers in the mid ground are Woolly Sunflowers. There are the seed heads of Meadow Brome grass falling in from the left hand corner.

This is a shot of a field of wild flowers with trees and a building against the sky in the background. The purple flowers are called Lacey Phacelia. There are also red poppies, blue gilia, bird's eye gilia and California Poppy in bloom.

An orange and black painted lady butterfly on a pale pink yarrow flower with strands of grass in the foreground.

A wide shot of a pollinator garden in a public park with a paved zigzag path.

After removing over 200 invasive blackberries and a metric ton of Reed Canarygrass, the public pollinator garden that we took stewardship over last year is really starting to come into its own. Special thanks to the volunteers that help make it happen 🌱

#Misnomer. As a woman I’m offended by that man being associated with a female body part

3 weeks ago I dropped everything to apply my art to #elbowsup movement. I have a small sustainable clothing brand and created this shirt (and car stickers!) for #Canadians to celebrate canada and fight back in a polite but firm way! 🇨🇦

A bingo card with a grid and inside each box is a digital painting representing a pollinator found in Vancouver.

A digital painting of a bumblebee in the center of a clarkia flower. There are other insects such as an inchworm an ant and a ladybug on the flower. It's on a blue background with a rainbow and the text reads "love the bugs,grow native of plants"

There's not much I can do about the state of the world, but one thing I can do is to get people to look at more bugs. I'll be handing out bee-ingo cards while working in the Pollinator Garden once the flowers are up. If you get four in a row you get a sticker.

Insane!!! Much skillz!

Enjoying practice of drawing especially the past few weeks at life drawing sessions @basicinquiry. Challenged, fully engaged & enjoying great vibes in community of artists, creatives. Even watching the rise of an oligarchy, drawing makes me #happy! #wherewereyou when western civilization was falling

There is an official House of Commons petition that Canadians can sign that asks for Trump, a convicted felon, to be denied entry into Canada.

Voted for Trump, now have buyer’s remorse? The Trump philosophy seems to be his version of FAFO. Don’t buy anything on the 28th unless you absolutely have to.
