A Comma butterfly perched on the underside of a leaf painted on Fluid hot press A5 paper. I was going to do the side view below it but I lack the time/patience! It’s my first butterfly I have ever painted.

A Comma butterfly orange with yellow and black spots perched an upturned pale green leaf basking in the morning sunshine. There is a shadow of a leaf on the right wing.

An old #pleinair sketch from a trip driving around Fljótshlíð. Looking owards Þórsmörk there was some some stunning light, illuminating the distant glacier and mountains in this warm hazy mist.

Oil painting made en plein looking over towards Þórsmörk. Over the green vegetation in the foreground in the bright hazy distance you can see the mountains and glacier.

The UK had by my calculations, per capita, twice the number of fatalities as the Republic of Ireland. Ireland wasn’t exactly gold standard. Experts were begging the UK govt & opposition to follow basic science, to no avail. The UK scientific establishment was silent. Only Independent SAGE spoke out

House Sparrow in watercolor

One of the most widespread and abundant songbirds in the world today, the House Sparrow has a simple success formula: it associates with humans. The House Sparrow was introduced into Brooklyn, New York, in 1851. (All About Birds)

A Boreal Chickadee for Day 3 of #birdtober in watercolours. Was a lot quicker drawing/painting this today which was surprising considering I went to bed so late finishing off yesterday’s prompt 😂
#birdtober25 #art #painting #watercolour #artchallenge #beginnerartist #birdart #northamericanbirds
A watercolour painting of a Boreal Chickadee found in North America, Alaska and Canada perched on a fir tree. The bird has a brown cap with white on the sides of its head with a black throat. The upper chest is white. It has mostly grey wings and an orange-brown belly with some grey feathers on the lower belly. The background is a light brown.
