Curious Cat in the Green Meadow is a pastel painting in landscape format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A cute little cat is sitting in a meadow, looking out attentively and curiously between the green blades of grass. The kitten has a white coat, the ears and the upper part of the head are brown mackerel. The green eyes reflect the lush green of the grasses.

A new drawing is available of one of my favourite animals, the badger. This is a little postcard size piece that will post easily into a letterbox and you can send this as a gift.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate
US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

Another #CardForConservation, again based on Kitsumeo's FebROARy prompt list. This time, an Iriomote cat - a critically endangered subspecies of the leopard cat.

You can buy the card over on Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/beckykidus64... All proceeds will go to wildlife conservation.

Does anyone else, in response to their pet giving a random whimper, meow, or bark, lovingly respond “I know” when in fact, you actually…don’t know?

Not every day is a good day. Not every day is all that exciting. Some days can be rather rubbish actually, or just a bit ‘meh’. Today though, Bear was having a lovely day. Some days are just lovely.

One more #CardForConservation done! Of course I couldn't draw a normal tiger, so have a pseudomelanistic one.

As usual, proceeds will go to wildlife conservation, and you can buy the card over on Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/beckykidus64...

it sounds kind of pretentious but genuinely rethinking the social contract we have with what we'll tolerate from commerical advertisements is important. inconveniencing yourself in the interest of having more knowledge and control over the tech that governs your daily life gives you power.

i'm being more intentional w/ how i engage with the digital world, either changing software or at the very least not giving money to things that annoy me. i'm tired of companies taking money for worsening their products and my general quality of life so here's a list if you need ideas where to start

Here's a watercolour painting of my patch and the birds that live there. After numerous months of planning and painting, I'm really excited to share the final result. I'd love to hear which bird is your favourite!

#birds #birdart #sciart #painting
My watercolour painting featuring a variety of birds scattered across the sky, river, and grass. The main text at the bottom reads 'Figham Common', there's a description of the place, and a list of the bird species in the painting.

What an incredible mark!

I started doing art embroidery last year because my headphones decided to flake vinyl into my mouth. I thought, why not do something incredible that I've always wanted to try? Now I'm doing a larger piece to be framed in a shadowbox.

This side shows mushrooms and moss. A hand in a black glove holds headphones with embroidered fabric on the headpad and earpads.

Some mudlarking finds survived for centuries in the muddy banks of the River Thames. Others are freshly baked tasty snacks. 🍪

This biscuit (cookie) set recreates ten of the 350+ mudlarked objects in London Museum's Secrets of the Thames exhibition.

The exhibition closes on 1 March. Don’t miss it!
Laid out against a dark grey background are ten biscuits that resemble aged, chipped mudlarking finds. An oval biscuit in a rich, dark green looks like the seal of a glass bottle, and features a raised characterful face at its centre. Next to it is an unevenly shaped black biscuit with grey chips and the raised shape of a hare’s face, ears, and upper legs. There are two large biscuits with jagged edges, each decorated in blue and white to look like broken pieces of delftware plates. One features the shape of a small bird surrounded by swirling lines, the other has a series of concentric circles and curved shapes. A small biscuit with a multifaceted texture replicates a knapped flint arrowhead. Next to it are a tiny hammer-shaped biscuit in pewter with delicate cross markings, and a very small gold biscuit button etched with lines, circles, and a rough star shape. The smallest biscuit is made to look like a yellow glass cufflink with decorative circles in blue, white, and red. Another small biscuit has the appearance of an aged metal button edged with decorative white and turquoise dots. Finally, there is a small angular biscuit in a terracotta colour with raised lines roughly in the shape of two intwined figures.
