While visiting the UK, I saw this adorable young Canada goose, so I made a watercolor study in my @steamline journal

#watercolorbirds #naturejournal #animalart #wildlifeart #animalpainting #steamline #birdart #naturalhistoryillustration #naturalhistoryart #birdsketches

An open sketchbook, on the pages is a watercolor studie of a baby Canada goose laying in the grass, its head bent over its back to look at something in the graas besides it. There are some pressed flowers and plants on the pages as well. Around the book are brushes, leafs and part of a palette visible

Colors kissed my gaze,

A painting done about 10 years ago of a hillside at Taos Land Trust. I reworked the sky in 2025 to make it more in line with the dynamic of the trees and foreground hillside field. This painting is the sibling of the next painting and would like to be adopted together.

Not sure if I’ll be able to comment on others works this week, my apologies! Many thanks for reading!

Bending
Bending
Not breaking
Not breaking
Just splitting into two
Like a ray of light through
An anisotropic quartz
Finds two ways
One this, one that One fast, one slow One thought in, Out go two One here,
one there One in a rush to
leave One delayed
by density
Colour-
split
cross polarised
non-perfect-isotropic
crystal chandeliers
Oh yes! I’m
not perfect, for I am real.
