Grey and black linocut print based on the famous Apollo 11 footprint image.

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 linocut print in red ink of the word love, in the style of the famous sculpture by Robert Indiana, where the “o” is a full Moon

It’s a full Moon today! Let’s celebrate with some Moon art! #Moon #SciArt #Linocut

The Cat With The Pearl Earring.

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.

Luna, a grey tabby sleeps peacefully on her blue and red plaid blanket. One paw stretches toward the viewer.

Final update: blankie is clean and dry and back in its place, and all is right with the world. #Caturday #CatsOfBlueSky #HappyEnding

Luna, a grey tabby, sits awkwardly in her favorite spot on the couch with a sad expression on her face because her blanket is missing.

Update: I managed to get the blankie into the wash, but now she is sad. It’s only temporary baby girl, I promise! #Caturday #LaundryDay #CatsOfBlueSky

Watercolor painting of a single Kwanzan cherry tree in a field.

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, sleeps peacefully on her blue and red plaid blanket.

I really need to wash her blankie, but she is snoozing so soundly. #Caturday #CatsOfBlueSky

Luna, a grey tabby in a blue harness and leash, sprawls across the sidewalk, apparently not in a hurry to get anywhere.

It’s called a “walk” Luna, not a “roll around on the sidewalk and get as dirty as possible” 🙄

So happy it’s cherry blossom season! Here’s a little tribute. Watercolor and gel pen on paper. #mandala #hanami

Someone is very intense about her bird watching this morning, and very annoyed that I disrupted it for this photo shoot 🤣 #Caturday

Watercolor painting of a reddish orange Moon, sometimes called a “blood Moon”, which is caused by sunlight being filtered and deflected through the Earth’s atmosphere during a lunar eclipse.

Lunar eclipse tonight! May your skies be clear! #SciArt #Moon #Eclipse

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.

The crescent moon in the evening sky. It appears like a smile.

Blue Ghost lander on the Moon, sending and image of its own long shadow, with Earth hanging in the sky.

Blue Ghost is on the Moon!
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. 🧪🔭

A grey tabby lays her head across a watercolor palette

A grey tabby is basically hugging a watercolor palette, resting her chin on the surface.

She’s allowed up here while I’m painting, as long as she stays off my palette. So that’s going well. 🤣 #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky

A beautiful grey tabby, staring at the camera, sits on her blankie as though it were a throne.

Who’s the prettiest girl? It’s Luna. #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky

The Blue Ghost mission has reached lunar orbit, on its way toward a planned March 2 touchdown.

Onboard monitoring cameras captured these eerie views as it entered orbit around the Moon. 🧪🔭

Tabby cat with big green eyes laying on the bed. A look of disdain is on her face.

Have you ever really been ignored unless you’ve been ignored by a cat? 🐈‍⬛ 😼

A little #Caturday art

Yesterday and today, we held a mini-retreat to dig into our science planning process for Artemis II! Yes, we have planetary science goodness planned for even this mission, though humans will not exit the Orion or even go into lunar orbit.

the debris from starship flight 7 caught over turks and caicos.

absolutely unreal.
