Photo of a painting of a side view of a California condor against a distant sunrise

"California Queen" - acrylic on board, 8x10"

I've always loved condors and while this was a challenging painting, I loved creating it. Will work on getting prints made with some of the proceeds to benefit condor reintroduction, so stay tuned!

Time Change 😩

This morning, I gave my daughter a heads up that we should show more grace, love, and forgiveness to her classmates and teachers today. They might be crankier and less patient due to sleep deprivation.

It will take days for everyone's sleep to adjust, but just hang in till then. 💙

dawe, I can hear the little baby chirps <3 adorable 🐊💙

Finishing my final read through of the manuscript for the book of new papercraft moth and butterfly projects coming in August through Page Street Publishing and it feels surreal!

Been a labor of almost two years and a dream of many more.

A pencil drawing of a blue jay, facing downwards on a branch and holding a round object (probably a nut?) in it's beak.

A pencil drawing of a sitting frog facing right and holding it's head high. Below it is a pencil drawing of a gold fish. To the right of them, the blue jay from the previous photo is peeking out but cut off.

Some studies I made while not having anything to do in class today :)
It feels weird/almost wrong to post such "unfinished" feeling things but maybe that's just bad social media brain I need to get over.

Watercolor painting of a Honeycomb Cowfish, Acanthostracion polygonius. The intricate pattern of this Boxfish breaks up its silhouette and helps it blend into its surroundings. I’m painting one reef fish per day for 100 days with the hope of building a community. It’s about how art becomes connection. If you love the ocean, curiosity is enough. 🐠

Three paintings, each showing two warblers. One Willow Warbler and five Chiffchaffs in total. Each bird faces right to left.

Getting there. Need a few adjustments, and text adding on a computer, but here are 5 Chiffchaffs and one Willow Warbler. #birds #ukbirding #sciart #birdart

In an underwater scene, a sailfish, a mola, a mermaid whose flowing hair recalls marine algae, a dugong, and several golden trevally are grouped together in a vertically-oriented composition with some kelp against a black background. The illustration is drawn with intricate linework, with an emphasis on contours and varying line weight, and with areas of solid black ink.

Detailed watercolor painting of a Mourning Warbler perched on a thin branch of tamarack with fresh crimson cones. The background is a dark green wash.

My newest Life List painting, a Mourning Warbler on tamarack, since my lifer was at Sax-Zim Bog!

The upper corner of the background was kind of spontaneous. I was just like "what if I just left it like that?" because I like how it looks.

Foreshortened view, particularly from above or low angles. I want to draw action sequences so bad, but I suffer from similar pose syndrome because of years of concept art turnaround. 🤔

Prime treasure hunting season is coming, when we squirrel people can pick up all the bits of curio that makes our hearts happy.

What kind of collector are you? Or do I need to make another print to rep you?

Image of Animal Day Awareness Calendar for March 2026, There is a URL link for a web page view for easy text to speech. This is an ongoing project of digital sketches featuring a wide variety of animals using the Animal Day Awareness Calendar as a prompt and guide. It's a way for me to take time to explore their anatomy and deepen an understanding of different fauna while also highlighting conservation efforts. ► * days that fall on different days from year to year ► Days highlighted in green, yellow, purple are highly recommended to participate

We finally got some hopeful news about vaquita last fall, but now Mexico is considering re-introducing gillnets into their habitat. This would ensure eventual extinction, we can't let this happen.

Please share and send emails, letters, etc to Mexican representatives to stop this.
