Flamingo dragon color tests. I’m playing with the limited pinks available in the Luminance line of colored pencils. It’s a great exercise!

Visited the Ikebana show at The Boulder Public Library. Absolutely gorgeous displays and very inspiring for art, I took an Ikebana class in April and I'm hoping I can take more classes soon.

Finished this one today. It will go to Cline House gallery after it dries and is varnished.

#botanicalart #bloomsky #invertibrate #painting #watersolubleencaustic

Water soluble encaustic painting of a cluster of ghost pipes growing out of a black background. These plants are parasitic on fungi and have no pigment. The pipes in the painting have blue and pink shadows because that's what I saw in the field. A bumblebee hovers nearby because these are flowers, bees polinate them.

My painting, "Capybaras and Northern Lights"! One of a huge series of paintings and drawings of relaxing capybaras. I became obsessed with them in January of 2024!

Autumn Light
A painting from 2023, I really liked trying to portray translucency here. I referenced a hare skull in front of a lamp, and extrapolated how the lighting would look with a full skeleton.

Day 11 #SciArtSeptember prompt venomous: my linocut of a Portuguese Man o’ War floating at the surface of the sea. 🧪🐡

These are beautiful but deadly creatures, also known as bluebottles, resemble jellyfish but are actually colonial organisms called siphonophores. They are made up of many 🧵

My Portuguese man o’ war linocut is printed in blues, turquoise, violet and pink on white 9.25” by 12.5” Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper. The float is above the water surface, the tentacles below.

#SciArtSeptember 2 - Canopy.

A branch full of epiphytes somewhere in the Costa Rican mountains.

Migratory animals, such as the summer tanagers in this piece, tie together ecosystems across continents. They are just one of the many reasons why conservation is a joint effort.

Illustration of a large branch covered with moss and epiphytes, such as ferns, bromeliads, and orchids, based on photos of Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve in Costa Rica. There are three birds in the image: a purple-blue hummingbird called the violet sabrewing, and yellow and red birds that are female and male summer tanagers. The summer tanager is a migratory bird that overwinters in Central America and nests in North America.
