I spent some time observing animals at the @oceanariumandeducationcenter today for inspiration. I have been chosen to be the artist for their 2025 Maine Ocean Festival poster. I'm thrilled!

Ok. Officially officially done. I originally forgot to add some shadows that I was probably the only one to notice, but it had to be fixed! Let me know if you want to take it home ♥️.

I have an itch to use oils. I tried them when I was in high school and painted this sweet picture of my cat w @bobross paint set. I still have it along w all the art materials have collected. #bobross

The Northern Bayberry illustration is ready to go from sketch book to fancy paper. On a whim I included the Columbia Silk Moth. Its primary host plant is the Larch, but it can live on Bayberry.

I'm working on a Northern Bayberry illustration bc I love them. During my research I learned that they are dioecious plants (having male and female plants and different flowers). Now, I need to find good reference information so I can properly draw the difference between these flowers.

I don't ever do quick loose paintings, but I need a reboot after redoing the large seaweed painting. This little rough painting was inspired by winter twilight on MDI. #mountdesert
