There’s a full Moon today! Let’s celebrate with some Moon art! The March full Moon is sometimes called the Crow Moon. #FullMoon #Moon #linocut

I did not get my act together to participate in #ArtAdventCalendar this year, but I’ll swoop in at the end with this year’s Christmas card. I took up #linocut relief printing this year and this is a two block print.

One small step, 56 years ago today, and a good reminder that we can do hard things. This is my first attempt at a two-color linocut print, and it was hard, I mean, not landing-on-the-Moon hard, but still, I’m proud of it. #Apollo11 #linocut #Moon #SciArt

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

Peak bloom came and went so fast for the Yoshino cherry trees at the tidal basin, but now the Kwanzan trees are bursting with flowers. Personally, I think the Kwanzans are prettier. This painting is based on the tree in my backyard. Watercolor and ink. #CherryBlossoms #Spring

Luna, a grey tabby, snoozes peacefully on her freshly laundered blankie. Freshly laundered because she puked all over it earlier this week, but I got you girl. And better the blanket than the couch.

Images are coming in now from what appears to be the first fully successful commercial lunar lander.

Over the next 2 weeks, it will drill, study lunar dust, and observe an eclipse of the Sun...by the Earth. πŸ§ͺπŸ”­
