Won the adult fan art competition at the library with The Mariner from Waterworld. It’s been a really fun art day! Now I need to go and get some fun #art supplies at Crooked line studio! #painting #saturday #artist #contest #scifi #bluesky #saturday #winning

Made it to the #Yellowstone art Museum for the #Sketchbook Symposium. I had Antheia with me so I walked around, got to get inspired by Katherine Jores #journal demo and checked out some cool #art installations. They have events going till 6pm! #montana #saturday #awesome

Finished! Galapagos Giant Tortoise (Chelonoidis niger). A gift for my great nephew's birthday. 🤘💚 Micron pens, markers, gel pen and Prismacolor on Strathmore tan paper. #Galapagos #Tortoise #nature #wildlife #illustration #animalart #reptile #animal #sciart #art #ArtYear #bskyart #blueskyartists

Portrait update! Still in progress. Spent the last couple of days navigating the week. So ready for the weekend! #art #painting #watercolor #dogs #cute #bluesky #friday #portrait

Some tiny little monster up turned my arugula. Besides that got some playground time in and now it’s time to get the big guy. 10/10 this has been a really good #Monday. Not done yet! #art #artist #dogs #painting #watercolor #cute #bluesky #kids #gardening (Update on one of my commissions.)

Waiting for #paint to dry. I think I need to get another table out temporarily. Just seems like one of those months. I need more table tops for clutter and art. #outline #progress #art #monday #feelinggood

Not sure how much longer this luna moth will survive, as their wings were tattered, but they were still hanging on. #moth #lunamoth #mothmonday #insect #monday #nature #eastcoastkin #photography #green

Got my #coffee in a ginger bread man #cup this #AM and a baby in the arms. Great way to start a #Monday #Morning. Next is #art and #gym time!

Feeling done with this #turtle too. All I have is one more #painting to finish and I will be finished all 5 #paintings I started at the end of my #pregnancy to mentally get through till she got here! #art #artist #reptile #nature #bluesky #animals #love #mothersday

Charlotte, trying to catch my fingers. (I had to switch gauntlets - she had chewed/clawed completely through the right hand one).

The adult Mute Swan speeds across the lake, intent on chasing off last year’s juvenile. And when all the chasing is over, all is calm — well, at least temporarily. Another Early Purple Orchid, not too far from the first seen a few days ago.

Feeling done with this #sunflower #painting of a sunflower I grew a few years ago on my balcony. #art #artist #flower #gardening #nature #acrylics #blueksy

Very early mockup of the Game of Thrones intro from Louise Nevelson. #art #otherpeoplesart #modernart #contemporaryart #youwontseethisinamuseum

Decided to enter a fan #art contest at the Billings Library. First I thing that popped in my head was Kevin Costner in Water World. #fun little project and excited for any future ones that pop up this year. Here’s to more good vibes in 2026 #drawing #painting #pencil #artist #bluesky #scifi

Feeling really good about this #Friday. Got a bunch of #art finished this week. Sent messages out to locations to teach #artclasses. Going to be putting on a couple of summer camps and signed up for some vending events at the end of the month. Also this is Zeus and the woman he loves ❤️ #watercolor

#Morning journalling before I work on picking toddler mess up. Might just leave it since he’s just going to dump it out again. So most likely it will be #art time after this. Morning #affirmation : Shame tells me to stay in hiding, but healing knows there is no hope there. Moving forward ❤️

Reed Buntings returned to the water meadow, having spent the winter months on local arable fields, are now in full breeding plumage. First Poppy flowering on the roadside verge. Ribwort Plantain, growing in the wild patch, is covered in lots of tiny flowers.

Working on a double #duck butt. Might end up #drawing another one but #landscape . Duck butts are my #arttherapy of the day. #art #artist #nature #blusky

How this #turtle is going. I still have a little bit of a ways to go, on last bit of balancing work. #acrylics #painting #bluesky #paint #art #artwork #natureart #reptile

Super proud of the way this one turned out. Yin Yang #Koi. Spotted this one in Thermopolis last spring. Been meaning to give it a whirl since I took the picture. #acrylicpainting #painting #acrylics #art #artist #fish #nature

Most recent #book I finished. After I finished it Dandelion Wine by Bradbury popped up in a little #library. It’s been a great year for books already and now that I have been getting less and less headaches I should be getting some more books completed out of my pile. #booksky #read #reading #scifi

An acrylic I completed when I was trying to get out of my funk. This is based off of a Blue #heron I saw at Shiloh conservation area here in Billings #Montana. I love how serine #birds look when they preen. Going to be #painting larger #acrylics because I would like to do a #mural someday.

Had a little unexpected addition to the family that we had to prepare for, grow, and welcome over these last few months that I was MIA. Officially past the hardest part. I can finally breathe again 🙌 #baby #spring #momlife #time #inlove

I got a pecker at my house!!! #burds #bird #aww #loveit #cute

Need to start working on removing all the leaves. First thing, leaf bags. Then preparing for gardening next year. First time with a yard in over a decade. 💪💪💪💪 #planting #plants #garden #urbangardening

Hanging out with my old Polly pocket. #bluesky #nostalgia #cute #fun #interesting #wednesday

Bonus fungus photo: If you ever wondered about the scale of some of the fungi I photograph... Fairy parachutes/Marasmiellus candidus #fungifriends

My stomach feels like these Koi fish right now. Morning sickness blows, but it’s only temporary and I know I’ll get through it, but holy cow this is just something else hahaha. Mantra: I will prevail and continue on with my dreams. #pregnant #mprningsickness #tuesday #koi #water #nausea
