Does anyone have good resources on RAW photo editing? I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing. I can't tell if I made it better or worse, or why and how I did so. #photography #macro #insects #butterfly

Sometimes I take my camera for a walk. Here are some insects from Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens last week. #photography #macrophotography #insects

I started working on this a few months ago and set it aside for a while before finishing it today. This is the first piece where I had an exact idea of what I wanted in my head and spent a lot of time planning and testing to create just what I imagined. #watercolor #charcoal #mixedmedia

Just in case any men are on dating apps or interacting with prospective partners, here's a PSA:

This is the only acceptable dik(-dik) pic.

You're welcome.

Status update. I can neither confirm nor deny that cheese was harmed in this encounter.

Can someone tell my dog that I would appreciate it if she would hang out on the bed so I could pet her without moving? She is too far away.

Trying to get in the habit of doing more teeny drawings for the sake of doing more teeny drawings. They don't have to be good, or finished, or anything really. Just drawings. #pencil #sketches #quickpractice

Dignified. Graceful. Refined.

@drsketchybaltimore.bsky.social is truly my favorite event in the entire DMV. I usually don't post my drawings because I'm completely lacking in talent or skills, but I don't want the host to be sad. Any lack of resemblance to The Juggling Kat is my own fault.

Caverns are cool.

Sometimes I make the sketch that lives under a future painting and I think, "Well, I'm either going to love this painting or really really hate it."

This is one of those sketches.

This week's watercolor insect was an oak treehopper. I definitely learned a lot working on this one. And I think he's cute. #watercolor #art #insects

I have two art projects I'm working on right now that I'm obscenely excited about. One is a series of watercolor postcards of different orders of insects (like this long-legged fly). The other is a secret that I drew some ideas for yesterday and feel compelled to paint. #watercolor #insects #art

You know your dog is a long dog when, during designated morning cuddle and scritches time, you get licks from the head end and thwacks from the tail end at the same time.

Yes, there is designated cuddle and scritches time--everyone should start their day with this much oxytocin.

Hello world. Here is a silly photo of Joy dog. There is cheese in my hand. Can you tell?
