Happy #Autumn #equinox everyone! Now is a time of burning leaves, crisp apples and pumpkins ripening. My favourite time of the year. This one is the Bloody Ploughman apple, fun to paint. #apple #painting #watercolour #watercolor #art #SciArt

Another little #autumn leaf. Demonstration for a private #art lesson #painting #watercolour #watercolor #SciArt

This handsome fellow was a commission piece that I did a couple of years ago. He has such an expressive face. #PetPortrait #watercolour #watercolor #art #dog #painting

"Bugs" may have been one of the worst episodes of #Supernatural, but this guy is pretty awesome. Had a lot of fun #painting the metallic shades #Watercolour #watercolor #art #SciArt #bugs #naturalhistory

I don't often do digital work, but I do enjoy it occasionally. The vivid colours are great to work with. #DigitalNotAI #krita #drawing #tiger #digital #NoAI

#Gorse, a common sight here in #Scotland, and one of my favourite plants #watercolour #watercolor #SciArt #painting #art #plant #yellow

Pomegranate in watercolour. One of my favourite subjects, I just love the jewel-like colours. #watercolour #watercolor #art #SciArt #fruit #painting

Another pencil drawing today. Rose hips. #drawing #graphite #nature #rose #rosehips #botanicalart #art #SciArt

I wish on JK Rowling everything that she wishes upon trans people. I will be leaving Bluesky if this continues. www.advocate.com/transgender/...

It's amazing what you can create with a simple pencil or two. Savoy cabbage, twice life-size, pencil on bristol board. #graphite #pencil #drawing #cabbage #vegetable #art #greyscale

This one was a bit of an experiment - #watercolour and #gouache on acrylic board. Turned out alright. #puffin #bird #watercolor #painting #art

So tiny and cute. #mouse #painting #watercolour #watercolor #art #rodent #cute

#blackcat appreciation day. Ember likes my @gonstfm.bsky.social tshirt.

Although he slept in a teapot in the story, I think he's cuter in a teacup. #Dormouse #AliceinWonderland #painting #watercolour #watercolor #art #tea #teaparty #Alice

Ember has been enjoying how warm its been recently. #blackcatlove #catsofbluesky #blackcat #cat

Loved painting this hare, it was such an interesting pose, and a nice mix of colours and textures. #hare #painting #watercolour #watercolor #art #nature #animal #rabbit #naturalhistory

Staying on a sea theme: This is Aporrhais pespelecani. This little sea snail lives just past the low tide level so they are only rarely brought on to the beach. About 3cms long in reality, I decided to paint it bigger at A5. #painting #shell #seashell #watercolour #watercolor #nature #art

Painting with watercolour is what I do mostly, but sometimes I like pen and ink work too. Also, crabs are awesome. #ink #pen #line #crab #art #wildlife #drawing #nature

The first in the series of Sunflowers I painted which won me a gold medal at the RHS botanical art show in 2012. I love painting yellow, it's such a sunny colour and always makes me feel happy. #watercolor #watercolour #art #painting #sunflower #yellow #botanicalart #flowerpainting #flower

Today's offering. I came across this beautiful orange rhododendron in the glasshouse at work a few years ago and was instantly smitten. I loved painting it! #watercolour #watercolor #art #botanicalart #botanical #rhododendron #flower #painting
