It’s cold and I’ve been on my belly for hours with my Nikon and wide-angle lens hoping to catch an emperor fly like missile from the sea. Although I can barely feel my fingers, I couldn’t be happier. My heart is singing and I can’t help but smile. More: glass.photo/cm/2x0JKhym2...

I have been loving making fun and functional art lately! ✨️ I love how these shelves and mirror turned out and I can't wait to share all the pieces I am currently working on. 💕 #artist #woodworking #traditionalart #whimsical #maximalistdecor

If I see one more AI post on the new art feed today I am going to FLIP OUT

Good morning. Got some decent photos yesterday. Have a great day.

Actually posting a bird on the correct day hahaha (even though I’m still behind😭) but this silver-eared mesia turned out sooo cute! #birdfest #birds #sciart #nature #art #drawing #artist #birbfest #birding #birbfest2026 #natureart #birdart

One of my New Year’s resolutions was to make my own calendar and today I finished January’s page :-) Each month will be a different endangered species, this month it’s the Black-Footed Ferret! #sciart #nature #art #ferrets #endangeredspecies #conservation #natureart #ecology #artist #pencil

day 10 of #birbfest2026 with the purple gallinule. If I could turn an impressionist painting into a bird, this would be it 🐦 #birbfest #birdart #sciart

Sooo excited to see my coffee cup come out of the kiln!! Haven’t glazed any pottery in over a year #pottery #ceramics #paleoart #sciart #velociraptor #art #dinosaurs #fossils

WIP how on earth am I going to render out this piece #sciart #paleoart

Finally done with just the first 5 #birbfest prompts and I’m still behind 😭 how do people find the time to draw everyday! But still this challenge has been incredibly fun, and I love seeing everyone’s art. #sciart #birds #botany #art #artist

#BirdWhisperer project poster for 2025! 🎉 I use the Bird Whisperer project to practice bird anatomy, learn about new species, and connect with fellow avian artists. Here is a gallery from 2025. ^^ #NationalBirdDay #SciArt #BirdArt #AnimalArt #WildlifeArt #NatureArt #ArtYear #bskyart

the sun finally cooperated enough to get a fairly accurate/less flat view of these holo pigeon stickers. I feel like photographing holo is always an uphill battle but sometimes it works out! #bsnm #birdsky www.microbiomearts.com/product/spar...

Working on the first five #birbfest prompts while I have a cold and I think I’m just too tired to draw anymore tonight 😪 #bird #sciart #art #nature

I've been slacking on my posts for #SundayFishSketch, so here is an in progress illustration of a lanternfish that I've been working on for...a while 🐡

I feel the same way about abalone! The fernbank museum had some beautiful examples in their shell exhibit! #shells #nature #beauty

Reminds me of the photo I took at the park with my grandmother today, moss is so beautiful! #moss #nature #plants #botany #sciart 🌱🌿🌱☘️

Since it came up in a conversation I ended up googling if the rhinos in the Salzburg Zoo get out in Winter and not only do they, it also makes for some impressive photos Images by Manuel Bukovics

A new piece of art has been completed. This artwork depicts sparrows visiting KOKEDAMACHAN's place. I imagined the sparrows peeking in, searching for KOKEDAMACHAN and friends. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

23. Magpie inkcap You can't not love inkcaps, they're too fascinating to watch turning to gloop. Used to see these growing out of mulch sometimes. If I remember rightly, another artist painted an inkcap with it's own ink - @bernoid.bsky.social maybe? #SciArt #ArtAdventCalendar

This is the cutest creature I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Left me speechless. #cuttlefish #sciart #marinebiology #fish #ocean #aquarium #cute #marine #aquaticd

It's #ChristmasEve, so I depicted Parasaurolophus under UV light, lit up like a Christmas tree - you can check out the rationale of this #paleoart on my #Patreon if you're already bored of holiday TV. Oh, and Happy Christmas to those who celebrate! #sciart #fossils www.patreon.com/posts/146578...

Final day 24 #ArtAdventCalendar One of a series of botanical and bone winter cards I did a few years ago. Many thanks to @jayispainting.earthskyart.ca#ArtAdventCalendarfor hosting! It's been a joy in these dark times. #BotanicalArt #SciArt #natureart #teaberry #yule #wintersolstice

immediately reminded me of The Storming of the Teocalli 1848

Thought I’d share this cute bee i saw in arizona with his gigantic pollen boots as I need a bit of a pick me up #bugs #bees #awwnverts #bug #bugsky #sciart #photography 🐝🌼

Can I be real for a second and just say that if you like an artist's work: Please tell them. You genuinely don't know how much it might mean to them to hear you love what they do. 🥺🫶🏻
