I have completed yet another orca painting. Loving these. ❤️ #art #sciart #orcas

Hyperfocusing on the dumbest thing right now: some weird taxidermy birds I spotted in the background of a random PBS travel documentary (possibly located in Norway???) thought I caught in passing. Seriously have spent like two hours trying to find it again. #adhd #autism #birds

I haven't been in my studio for like three weeks, so instead of working on commission stuff or other responsibilities today, I started another orca just for me. #art #orca #sciart #wip #selfcare

Felt like sharing my polite doggo. #dog

For the beginning of a hopeful year. 🎸🐎❄️🌕 #art #u2 #newyearsday #horse

Happy new year's and year of the horse! 🎸🐎❄️ #u2 youtu.be/jeYCyCaK_5k?...

First bird of the year: Happy black capped chickadee in my front yard. ❤️ #birds

The snowdrop is a messenger of the seasons, the darkest moment of winter has passed. It is a messenger of hope. #January1st #NewYearsDay Mary Delany, Galanthus Nivalis, Single Snowdrop, 1777 #womensart

Yep, just reposting my own post from someone else's thread. After the year I've had, I'm fucking cocooning.

Add horrendous bird misidentification to the articles of impeachment

Definitely pining for a peaceful float in the gentle waves at Waikiki right now. sigh

How I'm walking out of 2025

Got a new sketchbook and have been scribbling all afternoon. ✏️

New books to read!!! (I've read the first two, but never owned them yay!!) @tkingfisher.com 🥰 #books

Some very good art.

I love seeing process and love sharing mine. This is a good idea.

I got a new Breyer, ate pie, worked on a puzzle, and took a nap. Good holiday today. 🎄

Last #ArtAdventCalendar of the year is this bird Christmas tree I painted several years ago for a holiday card. Have a lovely holiday, everyone. ❤️ #birds #birdart

Second pressies for a kid, 2D from Gorillaz! #art #gorillaz #ArtAdventCalendar

Did some quick art for my kids for Xmas. This one is "Big Shot Bin Chicken" and it's so stupid I can't even 🤣 #art #ArtAdventCalendar #undertale #deltarune #spamton #birds #birdart

Southern Residents are back in the sound! Eeeeeeee #orcas

Happy solstice! ☀️ #birds #birdart #ArtAdventCalendar

Surprisingly, one.

I got to see some whales today. ❤️ (T19's just northwest of San Juan Island)

It's horse girl day. Happy Eponalia!

Watching Stranger Things season five and there are sapsucker holes all up and down a tree that Will leans against at one point in episode one. #birdnerd

Hell yeah. Protect trans kids! 🥹❤️

This. Also adding: invasive species eating all your suet isn't their fault. It's ours and they have a right to exist and eat just like everyone else. #birds

Haro humpbacks calling NOW on both Andrews Bay & Orcasound Lab -- live.orcasound.net/listen/andre... live.orcasound.net/listen/orcas... If you miss the live event, check these links for recordings: live.orcasound.net/reports #psws #wssjis

Listening to a humpback sing before bed. 🥰 live.orcasound.net/listen/andre...

Kelp has now been added to J36. ❤️ #art #sciart #wip

Doggo is hanging out with me at the studio today. She's a good girl. 🥰

I painted this Northern flicker in a cabin in the snow outside of Leavenworth, WA several years ago. Based on a Paul Bannick photo. Could use that cozy fireplace again right now. #birds #art #birdart #birdoftheday #ArtAdventCalendar

Working on my personal big watercolor piece of J36 (Alki) ❤️ #art #sciart

Killer whales have culture. They live in close knit family groups. They are not aggressive towards humans. The Southern Residents that live here in Washington eat almost solely Chinook salmon. Their habitat is polluted with garbage and noise. 🧵1/?

This was a holiday card I painted several years ago. My husband suggested I paint "six geese a-honking" 🤣 #ArtAdventCalendar #birds #birdart

A family portrait I did awhile back. Watercolor, micron, colored pencil. #BirdoftheDay #birds #heronsandegrets #ArtAdventCalendar #birdart #sciart

J-pod is back!! ❤️

Finished orca piece number two. 🥰 #ArtAdventCalendar

<-- new icon just dropped 😁

Finished orca piece number one. (Also saw K-pod again today!) #ArtAdventCalendar

Bonus #ArtAdventCalendar mostly because @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social posted a lil bit of prose about oystercatchers (with some really kick ass visual description!) and I wanted to share my poster image. ❤️ #birds #birdart #sciart

Look at this fella 😍

Hell yeah! This was so fun to attend! Can't wait to watch it! 🤘🏼

Low effort #ArtAdventCalendar today. The three pieces I was working on at once yesterday.

Today's #ArtAdventCalendar is an almost complete orca peekhole illustration I've been working on. Micron pen and Daniel Smith watercolors. #art #sciart

I made it to see the whales after all! K-pod has joined the party! Including a brand new baby!!! 😍 (Photo not by me)

Orcas approaching Edmonds ferry lanes on the day I'm not in until later.... Of course lol
