Pelicans will migrate through the St. Louis area, but they don’t usually spend the winter. I have no idea what this one was doing here on Dec. 19.

Sure, the band you follow may be cool, but does your band invite you to their backyard to pet their Irish Wolfhounds? Thank you @overtherhine !

At Cuivre River State Park near Troy, MO. Wikipedia thinks that this is a widow skimmer dragonfly. Watercolor trick: Derwent paint in background, Gansai Tambi in foreground = transparent wings.

An F-3 tornado hit the northern edge of Forest Park in St. Louis on May 16. In this area, many homes were damaged, and many old trees were uprooted or split. This patch of trees near the Visitor’s Center is trying to make a comeback two weeks later.

Ugh, watercolor dilemma. I needed a big sheet of paper for a tiny detail, but the big sheets wrinkle too much.

Bird’s foot violet at Greensfelder County Park, Eureka, MO Not great art, but finishing by scratching the purple veins with a toothpick was soooo satisfying.

If you have unused colors such as Cobalt Violet, Billiard Green, and Cobalt Turquoise Light, look for a duck.

The strokes and colors could be better, but, sometimes, the statement overrules the technical details.

Creative process … TREAT? No. GREATER? Certainly not. GRATER? They do have those. GARTER? Wrong type of store. REGRET? I already used that. RAGE? Too strong for now. Hmm. Some people call it Tar-zhay. Is there a good French word? Ah, voilà .

My “window” is a darn near perfect 30-60-90 triangle that formed when one tree fell between two trees that had grown up side by side. Newman Trail near Valmeyer, Illinois.
