Wet. For #januarty

An elephant seals playing on the beach.
When the world is your playground, how nice it is to see joy.

Rather than all the mess we humans make.

My spirit bird is a gull.

Lately it’s been the black headed gull, we tend to hang out in the same areas enjoying the same thing like the sunsets and waves…

Flavor for today’s #januarty
Ringed bill gull flying off with a capelin it just caught - #painting on canvas.

Gulls must enjoy flavor - I wonder do they think capelin taste better than crabs or are they just happy to find something to eat?

My favorite bird of 2026 so far, a hooded crow

Terrible photo quality but the moment of seeing them for the first time resonates.

Trees are more than a home for a squirrel or a perch for a bird, but I seem to have forgotten about their magic because I haven't painted a tree in a very long time.

For today's theme of Tree for #Januarty #Januarty2026
I'm sharing a very old painting from the vault..

Matching is today’s #januarty
not sure if any matching happens in my work.
But I do make series of work that all match because of the subject or theme… does this count?
Here’s an example of work that matches because of the theme.

Migration - birds that know no boundaries

#JanuArty Fresh. Fresh ideas. Fresh thoughts. Fresh ways of creating.
I’ve been playing with new approaches to sketching. Boldest part? I’m creating what I want, my way - my fresh approach for 2026.
If it sells. Great. If you like it even better, but what matters most.. does it bring me joy?

The toad giving birth to live young is a very cool discovery.

Coffee and sketching pigeons.

A Sketch of night herons at the zoo is the latest adventure in my sketchbook…

When drawing night herons, they will tolerate you just enough to get their shape. Then they will abruptly move. It’s their way of teaching you to draw from memory. Clearly.

So thoughtful.

Just two ducks thinking duck things.

Actually these are Marbled Teal, the most endangered duck in Europe. But they are probably not thinking about that...

'After 200 years, we're seeing this species again': The lost birds making a comeback in the Galapagos Islands
Freed from the threat of invasive predators, Galapagos birds are performing astonishing feats of return and innovation – 200 years after Charles Darwin visited the archipelago.

Quilt art makes me happy. It’s just so cozy.
I know people like the hang this on their wall or something. But i like the idea of wrapping yourself up in art for comfort.
And now I have progress on the new quilt as I return to the studio. I love it when I have a work in progress to let me get back into the flow. #piecing #workinprogress #artquilt #quiltstudio

TY to everyone who commented in my last post. I promise I’ll respond, but I’ve been busy prepping food and wrapping last minute gifts 😅.

Extraordinarily important.

For day 22 of #artadventcalendar a kangaroo

I’ve never been to Australia, so it amazes me that these run wild there. I’ve only seen them at zoos. There are so many creatures in this world and so little time to see them in their natural habitats 😕
