Over about 5 minutes I watched easily 100 ducks leave our pond, and there were still more quacking around. #RuralLife #Ducks #Nature #Dawn
Flying ducks silhouetted against a vivid sunrise. More ducks can be heard in the background.

I first started donating paintings to charity a little over a decade ago as a way to support various rescues when I didn’t have the money to do so myself. It’s been a good use of a part-time hobby. #Art #Acrylic #Pug #Dog

Working on The Painting. I’m almost completely done with the background trees of the forest. I just need to finish the upper right tree. And I’m tinkering with glow in the dark/blacklight reactive paint on the flowers… #Art #TheLastUnicorn #Mural #FantasyArt

I set my painting aside on the chair for just a moment and turned around to find a tiny panther by the window. #kitten #art #landscape

This weekend I’m going to start on a project I’ve had hanging around for several years… my 5’x5’ canvas mural based on the unicorn forest from The Last Unicorn. I think it’s about time to turn my extremely sketchy digital sketch into an actual painting… #Art #WIP #ComingSoon

I presented at a conference yesterday. Due to technical issues, I ended up giving my entire 45-minute presentation, with statistics, from memory, without access to my slides.
And my audience enjoyed it. So, I guess I did pretty well.
