The weather is nice and the skippers are making hay while the sun shines! I've enjoyed their presence amongst my zinnias.

Here I am, painting wings. Some days I feel like painting is easy to do, other days there's more friction. This was a friction-sort of morning.

This plucky mushroom popped up in my sweet woodruff. What can I say, I was charmed!

From the time I found this katydid, I couldn't wait to get some paint with green!

Everything reminds me of her
Image is several gourds and smaller pumpkins painted and arranged around a larger pumpkin covered in bumps and carved so it looks like a cycloptic grinning fanged head with gourd snakes emerging for hair

Fish with legs! During the Devonian period, transitional species that began to crawl out of the oceans and visit the shores. Which one is your fave?

I touched up the pencil underdrawing drawing of the kaydid and enjoyed the shine of the lines. Check out this close up!

BOOM, this time I picked a very bold color. I am very excited to set the green of the katydid against this.

It's my birthday 🥳🎊✨!!

I guess I can show my art and ask it to be shared (if you want to of course)!
Picture of a dragonair floating in the air with its head bent toward the ground. There's a gold halo behind the head, some stylized gold clouds and Chinese decoration in the background, as well as stars. Painting of a red borzoi dog. It looks ominous and scary, its half of the body is unraveling into red stripes and glitch effects can be seen in the whole picture. Painting of the light dragon from Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. It has a star in its mouth and it's brightly colored in green, yellow and blue. Painting of a bust of a purple tiger on a yellow backgroung, crying dark ink with ink dripping from its stripes and its jaw. Inkcaps mushrooms are on its body and some stripes are flowing through the drawing space. There are also purple clovers with ink dripping from them as well.

New insect reveal. This time I found a katydid! Sadly flattened, but not forgotten.
