White-winged dove in gouache in my new watercolor sketchbook. Yes, I was definitely singing the song in my head while i painted 😅 #birdart #sciart #originalart #traditionalart #gouache #sketchbook #wildlifeart

The black-capped chickadee is known for its distinct “chick-a-dee-dee-dee” calls, where the number of “dee” notes indicates the level of threat from predators. #🪶 #🐡

I was a busy girl this weekend, and I'm really happy with one! White ibis, one of the more common wetland birds around these parts, but when you take a minute to really look at them, they are stunning 🥰 #birdart #sciart #wildlifeart #acrylicpainting #traditonalart #originalart #wadingbirds

Just finished a new painting of everyone's favorite backyard bully, the tufted titmouse. I love watching these little guys cause drama at my feeders. 8 x 8 acrylic on canvas #acrylicpainting #birdart #sciart #wildlifeart #originalart #traditionalart #tuftedtitmouse

Eastern bluebird and pokeweed. Bluebirds eat a lot of fruit in the fall and winter time, including pokeweed berries! We are lucky to have both these lovely species right here on the farm #sciart #birdart #bluebird #pokeweed #nativeplants #botanicalillustration #wildlifeart #gouache #painting

Mary Hewes Hinckley (1845-1944) was a US herpetologist who made important contributions to the study of frogs in North America. She is attributed as the author of the description of Fowler's Toad (Anaxyrus fowleri) as a distinct species. 🐸 #WomenInSTEM

In my talks to Biology depts since 2015, my recommendation of a several month career shadowing requirement for all PhD students has never been warmly received. 6 years and y’all can’t find 3 months for a non tenure track career exploration that ~85% of PhDs will end up in.

Find the stingray 🤪

Realized I never posted a closer image of my last acrylic. Played around with iridescent paint to try to capture the structural pigmentation of common grackle feathers. #birdart #acrylic #sciart #wildlifeart #traditonalart #originalart #painting

felt something squishy in my boot so I turned it upside down, and plop. This guy. #toad #southerntoad #photo

Occasionally red squirrels come to my yard. I'm a little mad at the moment at their gray squirrel cousins for eating my cherry tomatoes 🤬 I really would like to do more mammal art this year! #Mammals #SciArt #FineArt #ColoredPencil #AnimalArt

A squirrel and chickadee encounter. I am not sure what is transpiring between them. Any thoughts? One of my first watercolor experiments from a few years ago. #sciart #wildlifeart #birdart #squirrel #watercolor #traditionalart #art #speciesinteraction #fungalart #TBT #TBThursday

Common Grackle in acrylic (8" x 8".) The frame is made with salvaged wood from the Repurpose Project in Gainesville, FL. I tried to capture the structural iridescence in their beautiful feathers. #birdart #sciart #wildlifeart #painting #acrylic #traditionalart #woodcraft #salvagedwood

This made my day. Also, I am listening to the Southern Reach series while painting right now, and #sciart #wildlifeart folks, it's a magical combo.

A red fox I made a little while ago using watercolor and color pencils. Foxes are one of my very favorite animals. I like that they sit in the middle between hunter and hunted. I feel that. #foxart #sciart #mixedmedia #watercolor #originalart #traditionalart

Working on my second ever acrylic painting, a little larger and more ambitious this time! Sweet Kenya is posing in the background in nearly all my progress picks from this day -- she is the sweetest! If you are seeing this, I want to see what you are working on! #wip #wipWednesday #Painting

@spidercat.io I found it!

The President's Budget request as released yesterday will gut scientific research. Why should you care? 1) Science is fundamentally a jobs program. Many 100,000s are employed to do science and work for you, the US taxpayer.
