Limiting my time on social media, it’s been helpful for my mental state! In the meantime, I paint!! Here’s the mountain lion I am really proud of :) #painting #acrylicpainting #wildlifeart

Owls? Today is owl day?? Sweet, here’s one to add to the pile 🤘🏼

It doesn’t get much fresher than this-just finished up these ravens about 30 minutes ago 🤘🏼 Went with a 90’s color scheme which was WAY out of my wheelhouse, totally fun to mess with though! ‘Double Mint’ Acrylic on canvas 20” x 24” #acrylicpainting #painting #wildlifeart #fineart #traditional

An older one, but still one of my favorites! ‘Disco Bear’ 24” x 30” Acrylic on canvas #painting #acryliconcanvas #acrylicpainting #wildlifeart #bearpainting #fineart

Puffins are unmistakable birds with their black back and white underparts, distinctive black head with large pale cheeks and their tall, flattened, brightly-coloured bill. https://theweeowlart.etsy.com/listing/1660373696 #puffin #birds 🦉 #OriginalArt #Drawing #PenAndInk #ColourPencil #Artwork #bsn…

Hopefully this fun fox can mildly distract you from the horrors of ye olde doomscroll…😬 Just making art to try & keep little bright spots if I can. ‘Leap’ Acrylic on wood 6” x 12” ##painting ##art ##acrylicpainting #fox ##fineart #wildlifeart #resist

A party bus but it picks you and your friends up after a long week and just goes coffee shop, bookstore, ice cream parlor, thrift shop, short nap, bakery, a different bookstore, museum, cocktail bar on a loop until you feel better

A moose! Have you ever seen one in person? This particular guy is a Shiras moose, from the lower 48. Not as big as an Alaskan guy, still way bigger than any farm animal you’ve seen 👊🏼

When you just admit to the fact your cat uses you as a bathtub. This is Mr. Marv

If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's intentional. They're calling it "flooding the zone." The intent is to overwhelm and exhaust us so we can not effectively resist. Something simple you can do right now now is to make sure to take breaks and rest.

Hello @bsky.app we are slowly moving to this platform because instagrams owner is so terrible. Happy to be here. 😁

Spend your $ wisely folks. It’s the only god-thing they’ll actually listen to.

Good to know that over 100 yrs ago folks still liked funny pet pictures. From the Altes Nationalgalerie.

If moths are so attracted to the light, just get up in the day.

Here’s a little house finch drawing to hopefully brighten your day. I usually have to greet them with a customary ‘Hey Buddy!’ when I see ‘em 🤓 Pencil & colored pencil on toned paper #art #wildlifeart #drawing #putabirdonit

One from last summer…got a little creepy staring into those eyes after a little while 😬 ‘Watch’ 9” x 12” Acrylic on canvas #art #fineart #acrylicpainting #wildlifepainting #owl

Here’s the second piece to fill out the 2 frames I got from Goodwill! I had wanted to do a jackalope for quite awhile, and I am excited how he looks in this frame! ‘Fancy Jack’ 8” x 10” (framed to 13.5” x 15.5”) Acrylic on panel #art #fineart #painting #wildlifeart #cryptid #traditionalart

Here’s a newly completed, fun & goofy painting of a grizzly bear with a gold tooth! When I found these awesome gold frames at Goodwill, I knew I had to do something ridiculous in them. Next up is a jackalope👊🏼 ‘Head B.I.C’ 8” x 10” Acrylic on panel #painting #fineart #wildlifeart #bear #pnwartist

People underestimate how much of making art involves having a little sit and doing a little think

I had the chance to spend some time with the river otters at the High Desert Museum in Bend, OR back in Sept. Got some fun reference photos to use, and I liked this one of these two pausing before getting into more mischief. Pencil + white colored pencil on toned paper #animalart #drawing #otter

Was really awesome to see people show up to support 70+ vendors today at the holiday market. I had been feeling a little down about (gestures wildly around) everything…another day with faith renewed. Every dollar you spend with small business goes so far, and means SO MUCH! Stick it to the man! 👊🏼

Another bear, because yaaay bears!! ‘Hey Buddy’ 5” x 7” Watercolor, colored pencil + Micron pen #nature #wildlifeart #bear #bearart #wildlifesrtist #art

Here’s one from this year that drove me nuts, but it was worth all the time on those feathers! ‘Great Blue Arrival’ 30” x 40” Acrylic on canvas #wildlifeart #painting #fineart #acrylicpainting #putabirdonit #birdnerd

NEVER, EVER SAY IT!!!!

Finished this one up yesterday—pencil & white colored pencil on gray toned paper. This bobcat is named timber, and he lives at the High Desert Museum in Bend, OR…he’s awesome!! #cats #wildlifeart

This is my studio helper, Mr. Marv…uh, supervising in a *totally* not creepy way 😂 #studiocat #artist #cats #artcat

Here’s a friendly fellow I just finished up this evening! Loving this mint color (Light Pthalo Green from Golden) ‘Outlook’ 6” x 8” Acrylic on stained wood panel #wildlifeart #wildlifeartist #pnwartist #painting #fineart

Howdy, just got set up on here! I’m a wildlife artist living in the upper corner of the PNW. I make work with acrylics on wood & canvas, watercolor, graphite & pens…a bit of everything! Hoping to connect with fellow art & nature nerds! Here’s a friendly bear to say hello! #art #wildlife #painting
