RIP Diane Keaton
My favourite picture of her where everyone else is giving it their best Blue Steel & she looks like she’s just wandered in off the street looking super cool.
She was allowed to wear her own clothes & her wonderful personality shines out.
What a unique talent & human being.

And now for something completely different…

#pastel #art #wip #drawing #color #natureart #pencil

An early work in progress - fingers hold a white pastel pencil over a black pastel paper with glassine paper under the hand. The start of a brightly colored octopus eye and head is emerging from the paper.

Molting is hard work! Male House Finch
🪶

Male House Finch is perched on a feeder ledge - he is molting and looks quite shaggy. Little straws of keratin protrude from his head as his new feathers poke through.

A split face black and white border collie puppy looks up at the camera. Her ears are huge and stand straight up of their own accord. They used to be floppy.

Finished (finally!) my pastel hare - this one was a lot of fun even though it took forever 😜. Ref photo with permission by Deanne Hope (Debbie Anne Photography) #pastel #art #pastelmat #derwent #carbothello #pittpastel #carandache #hare #drawing #wildlife

A pastel drawing of an English hare with giant ears, standing in a field of white daisies with yellow centers. He looks fluffy and intent on eating some greens.

HOW COOL IS THIS? Researchers have developed a DENTAL FLOSS that can DELIVER vaccines THROUGH the gums, a method that could one day offer a NEEDLE-FREE alternative for vaccination. This approach effectively stimulated immunity AND provided FULL protection against a lethal strain of influenza. 🧪🧵⬇️
