I do watercolor and gouache #SciArt, and occasional commissions. Here's a few of my favorites! An illustration of a tibia fusus shell, a Greater Yellowlegs bird on toned paper, photorealistic renderings of Silvery Blue butterflies, and a pigment-test sketch that turned into a lovely stormy sky.

An ink and watercolor painting of a tibia fusus shell. The shell is tan in color and very long and thin, in a spiral shape like a unicorn's horn. The end of the shell is to our left. At center right, the opening of the shell has several protrusions that look like the teeth of a comb. Off to the right, the shell ends in a long, thin protrusion.

An ink and gouache sketch of a Greater Yellowlegs bird. The bird is facing left. It is white and brown on tan colored lokta paper. The bird has a white breast and belly, with mottled brown wings. The yellow legs are very long, suited to its lifestyle as a wading bird. The black and white tail extends to the right.

Watercolor and gouache paintings of two Silvery Blue butterflies. These very small butterflies are painted nearly life size. The one at top left is a faster sketch on paper that already had some watercolor washes in orange, yellow, and green. The lower butterfly was painted in more detail. Both show the same view, top-down with the insect's wings open. They are a beautiful soft blue color, with black and white edges to the wings. Both insects are painted with a cast shadow, as if they were perched on the page about to fly away.

A watercolor sky filled with menacing clouds. There is a clear slot between the upper and lower layers of clouds, with a jetliner sailing serenely between them. Colors are maroon, deep blue, and the many grays that form when these two pigments are mixed. PR179 and PB27 for the watercolor geeks that may be viewing.

smelly

four panel cartoon comic of an owner talking to their gray tabby cat. the owner is holding a cut onion. the cat says "give". the second panel, the owner says "this is an onion, it's very smelly". in the third panel, the cat stretches to sniff it. in the last panel, the cat looks like their entire head retreated into its body, making it look very silly.

I feel like everyone might need a snow leopard pumpkin video.

Here is one courtesy of Northumberland Zoo (not on here, as far as I can see).

Enjoy, #UglyDogs 😊

Nighttime polar orbiter satellite photos of Jamaica before and after #Melissa show how the power grid was affected. Melissa knocked out power to about 77% of Jamaica’s customers, said Minister of Local Government Desmond McKenzie. Photos from worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov

I've started doing tiny paintings of buildings and cottages.

Here's a simple lighthouse with my small hand for scale.
