A large vintage frame contains a light grey, limited detail drawing of a barn owl, looking at the viewer over their spread wing. They are glowing in white while surrounded by golden Aspen trees and peeks of turquoise sky. Two very detailed black inked bald eagles suit next to each other on a Pacific madrone branch. To their left and right respectively, are a magnolia busy, and a hydrangea bush. Beyond are the Olympic mountains with a very colorful sunset. A secretary bird is down in profile looking left, with a lilac breasted roller sitting so its head, also in profile, looking right. They are lightly inked and painted with colorful watercolors. The background is a gradiant of bright yellow ascending to rose. A very detailed inked drawing of a great horned owl looking very intense.

More whales for world whale day! ❤️

The Whale Wall. My latest obsession (I mean as opposed to bird art, I've always been obsessed with orcas). All watercolor and based an assortment of photos by local photographers. A combo of Southern Residents and Transients.

A much needed sense of calm for me to meditate on.

Seven different watercolor pieces displayed on a white wall. Each is a different orca whale painting.

Cover illustration for the board game Birdwatcher. A pair of Blue Birds-of-Paradise are here courting among tropical foliage. The male hangs upside down above the female, flaring out his breast and flank feathers and waving two long ribbon-like tail plumes while she assesses his display.

Back in March 2020 I was on board to be a part of the new Bothell Art Walk.

Well, we all know how March 2020 went down. My kid's high school was the first in the entire country to close due to Covid.

Anyway, I'm now on board to participate in the Bothell Art Walk again for the first time! Yay!

Cast list for my kid's musical just got announced and my kid (who has ADHD and autism, and has often struggled with behavior, social skills, and sensory issues) HAS A MAIN ROLE.

I'm gonna go cry now. ❤️😭❤️😭❤️

Just for what it's worth:

1. Bad Bunny's halftime show was amazing. I hadn't heard his music before, and had to look up the context, but damn it was good.

2. Dimension 20: Gladlands is over and it was definitely my top fave season.

3. I would prefer not having caught a cold.

Also had time to try an idea I've had for awhile. ❤️❤️

I love when a project comes together exactly like I imagined! (Still in progress because I need help mounting these but YAY!)

Three brass portholes framing (from left to right): an orca portrait + kelp, three fish, and a harbor seal + kelp. They are arranged in a row on a wooden tabletop.

congratulations to the Seahawks, who are technically named after the gorgeous Osprey — a great victory for birders everywhere!

below is my rendition of an Osprey soaring to victory, drawn with full attention to detail. and no, this is not a photo!

One last pair of owls before I go to Costco (not a football house, even though we're in the Seattle area). Hope y'all get the sportsball outcome you desire. 👍🏼

Two watercolors of burrowing owls, one styled to be Frodo, and one styled to be Samwise. Both have flowers and other plants surrounding them and they are each in front of a Hobbit door. Frodo is signed by Elijah Wood, and Sam by Sean Astin.

Another owl for this, the holiest of owl holidays.

#birds #birdart #sciart #superb #owl
A very detailed black ink barred owl. Its body is facing away, wings are outstretched, and it is looking back at the viewer with white eyes. Background is a drippy gray watercolor.

I heard there's something about owls today?

An inked owl making the derpiest face and wearing a golden crown. It's very superb.

I finally got my first layer of ink down on my harbor seal yesterday. It took me forever because of 💫ALL THE THINGS💫 and then it was intimidating me.

Anyway, feeling good about it now that the paper isn't just white.

I made this for my kiddo's birthday today. He loves Gorillaz (we're going to House of Kong in LA next month) and in case you didn't know, black capped chickadees sing the two notes of "feel good" EXACTLY like in this song. 😁

A watercolor chickadee with its beak wide open. Blue background with big orange handlettered text that reads "feel good."
