I don't stay out late enough to see them 😭😭😭

You can find me at the Monster Drawing Rally @midwayart this Saturday!

I'll be drawing... Something. I'm not sure what, yet. Any suggestions?

We have all kinds of squirrels in Minneapolis:
Our grey squirrels come in white, black and brown, in addition to grey.

There's also flying squirrels, 13 lined ground squirrels, and yes, red squirrels.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I have been so lucky in love. I've been married over 20 years and I still like the guy! (Honestly, that's an understatement, but I can only brag so hard)

Thank you!

8 Dala-ish horses.

Which is your favorite?

(Also perfect for #chinesenewyear because it's the year of the fire horse)

Nothing is as cozy in the winter as a lap full of cat.

A fan of my Color Triangle used my Color Triangle as a citation for a paragraph about the flawed nature of a circular color model when mixing colors. See that little blue 14? Yep, that's me!

I'm so honored!

Y is for yellowjacket

X is for xiphosura

If you include scientific names, then there are plenty of animals that start with "X".

#4Alphabets

W is for Wasp

You might think spiders are scary but they have nothing on wasps.

V is for vicuna

U is for Umbrellabird

T is for Tetra

Which is apparently a whole category of small, colorful fish

T is also for Tacos. Support a local business owned by or employing immigrants by getting some late night tacos!

Maybe fish tacos.

But not this kind of fish.

Nice! I went to Habanero Taco, but totally failed to take a photo.

S is for salamander

Chasing away the chill by painting tiny teapots while drinking endless cups of tea.

R is for rhinoceros

Q is for Quokka.

They look like a cross between a mouse and a kangaroo, between a squirrel and a rabbit in size. Like kangaroos, they're marsupials, and carry babies in a tummy pouch.

And they beam up at you with beatific smiles!!

Next animal fad?

P is for parrotfish

O is for Opossum.

These live near my house, which I know because my cat likes to stare at them through the window, which makes me notice them, too.

That widow's peak of dark fur on the head suddenly makes me wonder if Mickey Mouse should really be Micky Opossum.

Super tired today.
I wanted to skip my 100 day project today, but I didn't, and that's a win.

M is for Mahi Mahi
I had no idea they were such interesting looking fish!

Drawing lizards sunning themselves on hot rocks really lifts my spirits in the middle of winter. I recommend it
