It's World Rhino Day!! Here's a pastel artwork I did a few years ago of a charging rhino.

Today, there are fewer than 27,000 remaining in the wild.

As autumn descends upon us, it's time to start a new nature journal. I've been out collecting some leaves and acorns and have started creating some watercolour sketches.

I hope to fill up these pages over the coming months!

This is something much different than my usual artwork. This is Georgetown University, as seen from Theodore Roosevelt Island National Park. It is painted with acrylics on a 16x20 inch canvas, and is based on my own photograph of this scene taken in 2011.

It's World Dolphin Day!! This is a pastel artwork from a few years ago of a common dolphin. Although not as well-known as the bottlenose dolphin, the common dolphin is one of the most numerous of the dolphin species.

Card 20! A Bengal fox, this time - a small canine from the Indian subcontinent, and which deserves more attention.

The card - and a lot of other cards - is for sale here: ko-fi.com/beckykidus64...
All proceeds go to wildlife conservation!

Today's card - a bat-eared fox!

Fun fact: these small canines eat mostly harvester termites, and are therefore a welcome pest control.

Like the other #CardsForConservation, the drawing is for sale: ko-fi.com/beckykidus64...

Sharing my work in progress: an acrylic painting on 16x20 canvas of the Georgetown University skyline as seen from the Potomac River. A lot of fiddly little details! I have not really painted a cityscape before, so this is new.
