Opening soon: 50th annual "Birds in Art" at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin, USA. The world's premier bird art show, prestigious and highly competitive. I was lucky to have a painting accepted this year (only my 4th time) and it will be among the 142 artworks on display.

I don’t fly Frontier very often (and I’m not taking them today either) but I like to look at their planes. Has anyone seen this one closely enough to tell what kind of parakeets these are supposed to be?

The US Constitution mandates that the executive branch is just one of three equal branches of government. If the president overreaches his authority, the courts and the congress have the right (and the constitutional duty) to rein him in. No Kings in USA!

Small wonders in nature can give us moments of calm even in perilous times. So here's a small day-flying moth, the Eight-spotted Forester, seeking nectar in the flowers of a Roughleaf Dogwood shrub. (Ohio, USA, June 10, 2025.)

I'd forgotten that May 31 was designated as World Parrot Day. Here's a simple portrait of a Bourke's Parrot that I painted a few months ago, in watercolor and gouache on tinted paper. Bourke's Parrot lives in Australia (one of 50-plus parrot species there) where flocks wander in the dry interior.
