Do you or someone you know like birds? As a fellow bird nerd, I paint many birds and have gift ideas for anyone looking to support a traditional artist this holiday season. I invite you to check out my website and added a few of my favorites to this post. www.themossywild.com

I love when I reach the weekend and can finish a piece I have been working on. This Cedar Waxwing watercolor painting has been an idea I have had for awhile. It will be mounted on an 8x10 wood panel and prints will be made. #birds #watercolorart #whimsicalbirdpainting

Just some Lichenomphalia umbellifera, also known as the lichen agaric mushroom, I found on my walk during tonight's soccer practice. #pnw #mushrooms

This Varied Thrush is not deterred by the little feisty Pine Siskin who doesn't like to share food. #birds #birdlovers #pnw

I was really excited to finally learn how to mount originals onto a wood panel. I chose this rabbit made using graphite and gold accents and love how it turned out. This will be available on March 8th at the Tacoma Irish Festival. #originalart #springart #tacomawa #pnwart

When you get some thrifted frames and decide you need to create some art just for them. This little work in progress will go into a small gold frame. Who likes mushrooms and snails? #mushroomart #mushrooms #snails #natureart #watercolor

I finished my latest neurographic art piece using a mix of watercolor, ink, colored pencils and gel pens. The greens and blues are so calming. Do you agree? #neurographicart #watercolorart #calmingart

I have been focusing on art that is more meditative lately. I love watching the watercolor flow into the wet paper and then focusing on drawing lines, connecting them and making what was sharp, rounded. I hope you find a meditative way to release any anxiety you may feel. #neurographicart

A friend knowing of the difficulties I have been having at work, sent me the sweetest care package. It really cheered me up. Not pictured here are some fuzzy socks she sent too. I immediately put them on.
