Finally getting to some western birds. Black throated sparrows hands down on my favorite birds now. Their call is 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 #birding #birdart #blackthroatedsparrow

A lifer I saw in Arizona this past fall - the phainopepla. Their silky black bodies contrast with their crimson red eyes. I spotted this bird right outside our airbnb early in the morning. It’s been a while since Ive seen a bird that I had no idea existed. #birding #painting #phainopepla

Sneak peak at Jack-O-Lantern mushrooms painting. Its been so cold recently Ive been burrowed away in my studio - day dreaming sunshine. #mushroom #painting
