Swans and snow geese have migrated to the Pacific Northwest for the winter. Such beautiful birds that gather in fields and lakes. #watercolor #blueskyart #swans #migration

A new seascape for the "Happy Tails Happy Homes" silent auction. They are a local nonprofit rescue group saving dogs from the euthanasia list and finding them happy homes. #watercolor #blueskyart #oceanart

New little 6x6 watercolor foggy seascape on aquaboard. #watercolor #seascape #oceanart #blueskyart

Just above the horizon, slight brightness as the sun begins to break through the fog, burning off the marine layer. Arctic terns dancing above the waves. #glow #blueskyartshow #watercolor #oceanart

My husband and I had the pleasure of traveling to Iceland in July and were struck by the amount of migratory birds we saw in the Westfjords. We saw many species we had never seen before, including arctic terns, who fiercely protect their nesting grounds. #watercolor #seascape #arcticterns #fog

I think this one is done now (after posting and deleting twice 😅). The first in a foggy seascapes series. #watercolor #aquarelle #blueskyart #oceanart #salishsea

Dancing waves on the Salish Sea. I love how water is always changing color and mood. Available on my website. 20x20 #watercolor #BlueSkyArtShow #Home #oceanart

Our pup has taken to stand up paddle boarding this #summer. It's been so fun to see him so confident on the water. #photography #blueskyartshow #salishsea

We have a small little foot ferry that runs May through September called Plover. Its little horn is the most adorable thing! #watercolor #summer #blueskyartshow

Puffin Island, as seen from the deck of a passing sailboat. #blueskyartshow #shiny #watercolor

One more loose little watercolor to add to the mix. #watercolor #aquarelle #oceanart

Continuing my journey into letting go and embracing the abstract. #warercolor #aquarelle #abstractart

Trying to learn to be more free with watercolors, to let the pigments flow for the medium to shine. The art of letting go of control. #watercolor #aquarelle #abstractart

A couple small watercolors inspired by time spent on the water. What a gift it is to live by lakes and the sea. #watercolor #oceanart #aquarelle

During the 1930s, the US "book women" of Kentucky, aka "packsaddle librarians," delivered books to remote and isolated communities in the Appalachian Mountains on horseback, riding in rain, snow or heat ...#WomensArt

A series of small summer paintings. #summerdaze #blueskyartshow #watercolor

Sea lettuce painted in watercolor. I went for a swim yesterday and there were little pieces of sea lettuce floating about in the waves. Such a pretty, delicate, translucent seaweed. #watercolor #seaweed #sideways #blueskyartshow

If I'm not painting or working, I'm outside wandering at low tide, riding my bike or hiking. #blueskyartshow #getoutside #lowtide #kelp

Pressed chondracanthus exasperatus, or Turkish towel seaweed for an upcoming project. Our shoreline has a lot of seaweed that is fun to look through at low tide. So many different colors and shapes. #seaweed #blueskyartshow #narrow #oceanart

Our pup, Floki, swimming in the sea. #blueskyartshow #joy #watercolor #oceanart

Sea anemones painted in watercolor. We recently had our niece out to visit who experienced tide pooling for the first time. #blueskyartshow #vibrant #watercolor

Had to repost this for the theme #underneath. Happy Saturday! #watercolor #blueskyartshow #cetaceans

A little more abstract rendering of the sea. Oceanic, 8x8, watercolor on paper. #warercolor #aquarelle #lightandshadow #blueskyartshow

Art in the wild! #orcas #watercolor #aquarelle #oceanart 🐋

Klickitat Waves, a new watercolor inspired by water lapping the side of a ferry. Since the Earth is 71% water, it seemed fitting for today's theme. #blueskyartshow #earth #oceanart #watercolor

#PhycologyFriday #MarineLife #SciArt 🦑🐡🌊

The deep red glow of the hoodoos at sunrise in Bryce Canyon National Park. This place is very special. I’m so thankful for our public lands. #BlueSkyArtShow #Dream #travel #art #nationalparks #nature #naturephotography #ArtYear #EastCoastKin #photography

The first time I saw orcas in the wild, my husband and I were on a cycling trip on San Juan Island. The Southern Residents like to feed nearby and they were hanging out off the coast breaching and looking like they were having a great time. It was transformative! #watercolor #blueskyartshow #dream

If you're in the Bellingham area, I will have new work going up at Boundary Bay Brewery in May! Boundary has been a cornerstone of our community for 30 years and I'm honored to be able to show my work in their space. #oceanart #watercolor #pnw #salishsea

New bull kelp print! This print is 12x16 and will be hanging with some of my other new paintings and prints at Boundary Bay Brewery in Bellingham for the month of May! #kelp #blueskyartshow #peaceful #oceanart #printmaking

Another water swirl watercolor + acrylic to add a little brightness to this dreary day in the PNW. #watercolor #oceanart #aquarelle #blueskyart

Orcas are my favorite cetaceans. A couple weeks ago, we had a few orcas come into Bellingham Bay, likely looking for harbor seals. I didn't see them, but always look out to the bay in hopes of one day seeing the dorsal fins of these beauties. #watercolor #orcas #cetaceans #salishsea

Another big 20x20 watercolor for an upcoming show. Watercolor of moving water, my favorite subject to paint. #watercolor #oceanart #aquarelle #salishsea

Southern resident orcas in search of their favored food, Chinook salmon. #oceanart #orcas #salishsea #blueskyartshow #thejourney
