Acrylic painting titled “Big Buck”, of a White-tailed Deer Buck facing away from the viewer in a moody post autumn forest. This original acrylic painting is 20”x16”. An acrylic painting titled “Watering Hole” of a White Rhino approaching the water. The main focus of the painting is the reflection of the Rhino, meaning it is upside down to the viewer. The purple sky is reflected as well, so the entire painting has a lavender tone. This original acrylic painting is 24” x 30”. This painting titled “Yellow-throated” shows a Yellow-throated Warbler that I had seen and photographed for the first time while in Florida. The bird is perched delicately on the edge of a palm frond. This original acrylic painting is 14” x18” and has sold. This painting titled “Scarlet Tanager Study” is a compiled study of 6 paintings of a male and female Scarlet Tanager, in a more illustrative style. This original acrylic painting is 9”x12” and has sold.

I do love a little thing, and now I can’t stop making little pumpkins.

I’ve been exploring polymer clay this fall, and I am having an absolute blast. It is such an easy and forgiving sculpting medium to work with, and all I have to do bake it in the oven? Yes please.

Summer has really re-ignited my love of insects.

So I painted the Cecropia Moth that I was lucky to find.

This is an acrylic painting done on a pine board 🎨

A canvas sitting on an easel. The canvas is light grey with a large Great Black-backed Gull painted on it. The rest of the canvas is covered in a sketch of an old lobster trap on the beach.

Throwback to some of my favourite winter themed #bird sketchbook pages 🦆 🦉 🦢
A hand holding an open sketchbook outside over the snow. The sketchbook has paintings of gulls, swans, and ducks, with descriptive text. The paintings are done in acrylic. A sketchbook page showing an acrylic painting of a snowy owl.

An acrylic painting of a pair of Ravens perching on the branches of a Scott’s Pine. The bark of the tree is more red as it goes up, and the birds are near the top of the painting.

Another wip of my favourite painting I completed in 2024.

I’m still learning how bluesky works, but from what I’ve seen, photos tend to dominate - is that true?
