Sulphur-crested Cockatoo 🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt

I started working on this drawing half a year ago as a part of the #BirdWhisperer challenge, but I got very busy around that time and only finished it recently. It is far too late for the official posting date, but I am glad I completed this one!

I did actually start this earlier this month but only managed the basic composition. So, rushed through the rest of it (or, “all of it”) today. Well done self, you tried. Happy ten years, #birdwhisperer!

My gyrfalcon for January's #BirdWhisperer. Those feathers were a challenge! I started thinking of them as more like a mosaic than anything. #painting #art #bird

This month's #BirdWhisperer is a Gyrfalcon! I spent way too long on this but I love how it turned out, haha

a digital painting of a gyrfalcon. he is sitting on a dead knob of a treebranch. The background is vague shapes of teal. the bird is positioned such that his back is to the viewer, and his pattern of dark feathers with white outlines can be clearly seen. his head is in profile, looking back over his shoulder, displaying a hooked beak and piercing eye.

Here's a juvenile Green Woodpecker commission that I painted last month and can now share 🐦 It was inspired by a moment from a birding trip, when we finally managed to see the species that had been escaping them again and again.

Day 21 of #ArtAdventCalendar and I present to you this luminous Green Honeycreeper...

#BirdArt #sciArt #illustration #Procreate
An original digital illustration of a Green Honeycreeper bird perched on a branch. The branch is placed diagonally from top left to bottom right on the image. With the slight perspective of looking up at the bird you can see the dark browny tail feathers and lower wing feathers which then lead to an explosion of iridescent blue green feathers that cover most of the body. The only other exception is an area of black feathers on the head that form a V shape coming down from the red eye of the bird. Its beak is mildly elongated and tapers slightly down to a sharp point, the bottom half of which is a bright yellow and the top half a blue gray colour. The background is made up of light blue inky washes.

The Pacific Wren is a tiny forest undergrowth dweller of western North America.

Until recently it was considered the same species as the Winter Wren and the Eurasian Wren, which explains why it looks so similar to the wrens I see in my neighbourhood 😁

Have a Wyandotte chicken for today's #ArtAdventCalendar!

Had a good time drawing these feather patterns. This was another in my #TransArtMay project. You can browse that hashtag to see the others! Trans rights forever! 💜
Digital drawing of a striking white bird whose feathers are all edged in black, creating a stunning pattern. It has a red comb and wattles and a golden eye. It is holding a tiny bouquet of flowers with pink, blue, and white petals in the colors of the trans flag.

A jackdaw from my garden that I painted in 2018.

Graphite, charcoal and acrylic #birds
Artwork of a jackdaw I created in 2018 – The image is using graphite, charcoal and acrylic paints. The jackdaw is in profile, and is on an abstract background of quite low saturated colours of grey/ smoky green tones. the bottom half of the jackdaw isn't visible. The focus is mainly on it's white glaring eye.

For those in the states! Happy Thanksgiving!

Usually like to study a turkey, this year is the Osceola Wild Turkey. These turkeys are a little leaner and thinner then their turkey cousins in the north.

Pygmy Nuthatch #Birdtober

Nuthatches are known for their ability to climb on trees head down, so I thought it would be fun to depict that 😊 This species lives in the long-needled pine forests in North America.

First finished piece since the end of Birdtober! A Ruby-crowned Kinglet enjoying the beautiful fall leaves. #NearbyNature2025 fun fact: apparently they run on just 10 calories a day, which is funny considering how they never stay still!
