Aww ❤️ Lyra was born in Ontario in January so she’s always known snow (and loves to eat it too!).

Border collies and snow are one of my favourite mixes ☺️

We woke up to a cold, snowy day. The schools and universities are closed, and there is the perpetual sound of snow shovels. I’ve been clearing a path for our dog …

Thank you! You would have to be a very patient ladybug; it’s a slow process 😏

Not yet, but I’m working on it. I’ll announce on my page (and pin the announcement) when ready — hopefully by summer :)

Thanks! I love drawing trees and spent as much time on this one as on the bird.

It seemed a fitting start to January to draw a blue jay with feathers puffed out against the cold. I tend to think of jays as active and loud, but this one was quiet, conserving energy, perhaps, on a very cold morning in Toronto. Coloured pencil on cotton paper. #birds #SciArt

I’m reading one of Elizabeth Gaskell’s lesser-known novels, Sylvia’s Lovers. It’s set in a town, on the east coast of 18th century England, whose folk are terrorized by government-sanctioned press gangs that would capture men who would often never be seen by their families again. Hmmm …

Not yet — I’ll have to look into that. So far, when shipping originals, I’ve been happy using Canada Post, which transfers to the postal service of the destination country. But I haven’t shipped to the Netherlands before …

Thank you for letting me know about this.

What a super idea!

Thank you — and yes, do! Productivity comes and goes but art is always a good thing :)

I decided to make my first drawing of 2026 a blue jay — specifically, one who cheered me by puffing out feathers to keep warm. I love it when birds do that. It’s like giving a duvet a good shake. For now, though, I’m working on the tree; the feathers can wait :)

Maybe one day 🙂
