Picking this back up and finishing g it off after a break. Just need to do the cliff now.

Anyone have connection with UK or EU galleries that like to show watercolors and nature? Desperately need representation fir a visa

One of the original artworks I'll be making available tomorrow (sat 8/16) is a personal favorite - I'll be sad to see it go, but happy for it to go to a good home. "What Makes Ed Happy" 11x14", ink on paper dorywhynot.com/shop #ofmd #ofmdfanart

This is enchanting

Sorry. I had to take a break from the pterosaur to code a website. 12-15hr days all week for two months. It was exhausting. I’ll get back to our regularly scheduled painting soon.

This is unbelievably spectacular

He’s hiding.

He sleeps the way I block out the world

My upstairs neighbor has taken up the clarinet. Please kill me.

Making more progress this weekend. Need to take a break. I’m kinda burnt and losing my mojo a bit. And with watercolor, there’s no coming back from mistakes so… best to set it down until I’m back to 100% so to speak.

This Memorial Day, how about giving vets their healthcare back

Today is the day we honor those who died overseas stopping the same thing many of you are ignoring here at home--fascism.

Coming along. Trying to make sense of the skin and casque texture. #paleoart

A .3mm H mechanical pencil mostly. Ready to start painting! This is always nerve wracking

Been watching Dino documentaries a lot. So here’s a preview of my new subject: Caiuajara Dubroskii

Amazing read with wide ranging implications

NATURE: “a what a beautiful spring day” TREES: “ya sure gotta purdy nose”

Pretty sure RFK Jr narrated the opening of Dune.

Me picking out an outfit

Hmm. That’s a new one

Fun little Netflix discovery: KAOS. What if Greek Mythology were real and set in present day? This only lasted one season because Netflix never markets their shows and this one might’ve been too smart for most people but if you have any interest in mythology this is a cute spin on it

Maybe AI *shouldn’t* be your therapist.

Sure, when a baby elephant does it, it's cute, but when I do it, all of a sudden I'm not welcome in Pizza Hut anymore.

Lady G is so far up Tr*mp’s ass you’d think he was a top

My cat sighs a lot for someone who sleeps all day and doesn’t pay taxes.

It happens.

So I finally figured out how to delete my Facebook account. Boy they sure buried that process. Still - it takes 30 days to delete. Otherwise if you log in it restores everything. They REALLY do t like to see you go. You are the product.

My friend is Jewish and his parents are hard core Republicans. I never thought I’d live to see the day Jews side with nazis but here we are. They’re richer than they are Jewish I guess.

Despite Jared Leto, I’m actually really excited about this

So tired of scams and bullshit

Some details

The final piece. I darker and simplified the background a bit and added her tribal paint

This gives you a sense of scale

Almost done

Starting on her face

Painting fur is a slow process

Working on the sloth

Painting skin is all about glazing various colors on top of one another to build up rich vibrant tones.

Finally I painted the background first. I’m not sure how this helped

I was really struck by this photo of a girl with her pet sloth named “Sandra”. Presumably to the girl it’s a really exotic name.

Collared Aracari sketch.

A sketchbook painting of a hummingbird. Iridescence is so incredibly hard to capture.

A sketch of a 3-foot Malabar Giant Squirrel. (Granted, most of its tail…).

A close up of the Red Betta - in collection in LA.

This was the first painting I did in this style (realism) back in 2017 after getting sober. My computer was stolen so I have no process shots for it.

Finally done. I think I captured the light relatively well

This gives you a slight sense of scale. I love painting on 300lb arches as I can paint all the way to the edges without having to tape down the paper.

I always paint the subject first and the background second which is completely backwards
