Had a terrific weekend at the Ohio Wildlife Rehabilitators Association conference at Deer Creek Lake State Park. David gave a talk on Sunday about our story, what we've learned over the last nine years, and the current challenges facing small art businesses.🐡🎨

Hi, hello, here to let you know that a selection of moth & butterfly paintings are on sale in my web shop through the end of august :)

Realistic paintings of moths and butterflies in frames of varying styles. The pieces are sitting on a distressed white tabletop. There are hints of wood tone showing throughout the white surface, which you can also see behind the insects. This helps to indicate that they have been painted on clear glass, and each one looks like it is floating in the middle its respective frame. Top row: red admiral, white-lined sphinx Middle row: question mark butterfly, black swallowtail Bottom row: monarch, honey locust moth

Living throughout the year far to the south, common buckeyes (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Junonia coenia) venture north every summer. Adults are often seen in open meadows and old fields where they feed on asters and other summer wildflowers. Clayton Michigan, 28 Sep 2012.

A small original drawing of a strawberry poison dart frog sitting on a leaf, with a semi abstract background of jungle foliage. The drawing is on cream toned paper. The strawberry poison dart frog's skin becomes toxic, or poisonous, because of what it eats. When these frogs eat certain types of tiny mites and ants, their skin becomes harmful. They are famous for their many different colours. There are about 15 to 30 different colour patterns. An original art work Colour pencil and mixed media on acid free toned artist paper 5 by 7 inches (12.7 by 17.8 cm). Sold unframed

We spent a good part of this long weekend printing... A not so fearsome foursome. 🐡🎨🪶
Two wide pieces of paper showing two screen printed layers: one has only blue ink, the other has gray added. The gray reveals that this print is of four birds perched on a tree limb Two more sheets of paper of the same print, one with the blue and gray ink. The other has black added, showing the forms of four black vultures.

I know we don't feel like there's much to celebrate this July 4th. It's been a rough several years.

So I want to talk about how we're making history right now.

When you learn that an armadillo's armor is made up of keratin scales called scutes, the obvious next step is to draw an armadillo line dancing

Right?! Or maybe that's just us... 🤷🤷‍♀️
