Day at the beach has started off with lots of drawing shells 🐚

Would love to keep my workspace clean even once

Student work from my Wildlife Watercolor class! Last week was about composition and echinacea. So proud of seeing what they come up with.

Eastern Grey Squirrel skeleton started off and I think this lil stick figure guy is very cute.

Thank the lord herself that I am starting botanical illustration classes soon bc I have no idea what I’m doing.

Some little sketches I did for visuals in my upcoming wildlife watercolor class! Talking about scales, reptiles and the Eastern Box Turtle. #sciart #watercolor #sketch #wildlife #turtle #easternboxturtle

Southern Leopard Frog- Lithobates sphenocephalus Still need to label and do some fiddling in the background but I am impatient and wanted to post. #sciart #southernleopardfrog #frog #herps

I wanted to volunteer for the parks department this summer because of the horrific budget cuts. The park asked if I would teach a watercolor class focusing on local ecology and I am so excited! Very beginner friendly and you get to hang out in nature! If you’re in the area, I’d love for you to come

I very much overestimated my time management skills for this one.

Hope you all enjoy my best work yet #shrimp #shrimpisbugs

This is my dog. I painted my favorite photo of him looking like a doofus. #dog #gouache #greatpyrenees

So much left to do it is a little mind boggling. Also really hating the paper I did this on but anywho here’s a bird #easternwhippoorwill #sciart #forgetmenot #connieconverse

Scute-in’ along with this Eastern Box Turtle and it was so much more difficult than I thought (and I thought it would be really difficult). My son wanted to help me paint, I promise I don’t paint outside the lines normally. #easternboxturtle #terrapenecarolinacarolina #sciart #reptile

Makes me incomprehensibly sad that no matter how interested in science I am, I can’t get a degree in it because I don’t have $50k+. This country sucks soooooo hard. I want to learn stuff!!!!! Let me learn stuff !!!!!!!!

Having (possibly) too much fun learning vertebrate anatomy with @deepgreenravine.bsky.social through the Lyme Art Association. Only been 3 classes and i already feel like I’ve learned so much. Reptile week is coming up lfg!!! #sciart #goliathfrog #conrauagoliath #frog

I just wanna paint a frog, man.

This dog has the soul of a Victorian child

Been painting signs at work for the last few weeks and I think these two are bffs or dating or smthn I want to take a nap

Did my first repoussé piece today of an atlas beetle. My hand hurts and I have lots to learn but this was a fun first attempt. #atlasbeetle #sciart

Me looking at you wondering if you’ll give me a french fry #floridamanatee #sciart

This was done by a relative from the Portuguese side of my family around the 1940’s/50’s. Does anyone know how I could possibly find out more about this? #help #art #midcentury #portugal #arthistorianwanted #idkwhathashtagstousetogettherightpersontoseethis

Tulip time mfers!!!!! #sciart #tulip #pink #botanical #colored pencil

Cherry blossom flower beginning to come together #sciart #cherryblossom #sketch

Sketching tulips in the sunshine is better than Prozac. #sciart #tulip #coloredpencil

Finally painted something after several years (weeks) #sciart 🐡 #gouache #watercolor

Been so busy but made this thank you card today of me and my husband as frog pals. 🐸 🐸 #frog #lilfellas #watercolor

Harlequin Toad progress. Slowly but surely or whatever tf they say. #wip #sciart 🐡 #harlequintoad #herpetology

Finally got a good scan of this Pine Barrens Tree Frog I made a while ago. #sciart 🐡 #herpetology #frog #pinebarrenstreefrog

Went on a field trip today to the IX Art Park in Charlottesville to see their immersive exhibit and loved these moving flowers so much. Does this count as #sciart 🐡??

As promised, Jack Johnson. I sketched this awhile back. Johnson became the first black world heavyweight boxing champion in 1908. Miles Davis wrote one of his best albums as tribute to him. #jackjohnson #jazz #art #ink #illustration #sketch #drawing #fineart #traditonalart #artist #milesdavis
