Dandelions are highly nutritious, edible plants rich in antioxidants and vitamins A, C, and K. They support digestion, liver health, and healthy blood sugar levels.They are also a vital, early-spring food source for bees and pollinator insects. #InternationalPlantDay #Pollinators #Bees #Nature

It's official, I've survived another Canadian winter! #bloomscrolling #garden

My painting DARK STORM

#BlueskyMonday A horse is grazing in a pasture at Madonna Inn (the white buildings in the background) under a mostly blue sky. #ECK #Horse #MadonnaInn #SLO #WestCoastKin

In certain Celtic traditions, the heron is considered to be the reincarnation of Rhiannon. Because of this association with Rhiannon, a deity linked to water, herons are sometimes called "the Lady of the Lakes" in parts of Wales and Scotland. #BirdOfTheDay #Birds #Heron #Folklore

Happy International Beaver Day everyone! 🥰 🦫 Have a great evening everyone and stay safe out there 🙏

'Sunny Yellow Buttercup on Green and Blue' created in soft pastel and just finished this week. These little wildflowers hold fond memories for me of my childhood in Virginia. Prints & cards featuring this artwork will be available at the links in my profile. #PastelArt #Flowers #BotanicalArt

Beautiful Hyacinth 😊 #bloomscrolling #hyacinth

My latest painting: oil on birch panel, 70 x 100cm I wanted to add something that would look out of place in the landscape, yet in harmony with it. A symbol of mundanity clinging on. Almost transient. #oilpainting #landscape #grief

Meet “Smokey,” a raku pottery bear shaped by the flames of raku. 🔥 Deep browns, violet, blue, and gold tones dance across layered textures for an industrial yet earthy and organic look. Only you can prevent forest fires, but you can't prevent 'Smokey' from being adorable 🐻 #furryart #bear

The world feels very unsettled, and art isn’t always the priority in these trying times. Even so, I'm here and keep on making. These are my latest one-of-a-kind raku vessels available now. A share or like to help them find their people would mean a great deal. 🙏

One of my first Chicago scenes, painted in class 🎨, based on a photo I took during my commute 🚲 when the bridge opened for passing boats ⛵️. I like the atmosphere showing a vestige of the Industrial Era contrasted with shiny sailboats. #art Title: Time for a Brake
 Medium: Soft pastel on paper

Tonight’s sketch page. It’s virtual impossible to not like 🐧 🥰 ✍️

'Delicate Pink Camellia Flower' is my latest botanical art done in soft pastel. I have done this same flower years ago, but my skills have improved since then so I gave it another try and I'm happy with it. Prints & cards with this art are available at links in my profile. #PastelArt #Flowers #art

This is mine impersonation of Elvis. His sneer. Actually mine lip got stuck on mine tooth. Sleep sweet beauteous babies. And just want to say good job to all who supported No Kings Day no matter how you did it. In person, in spirit, whatever. Family sends love & hugs. Stay fierce 💤💙💤

Got in a walk at lunch and saw this handsome fellow with a beak full of nesting material. #finchfriday #birds

“Is this some sort of threat, Emily?”

One of my favorite finished pieces. The original took a bit of work, but it was worth it! The original artwork is up for sale on Ebay. #art #traditionalart #wildlife #charcoal #sciart #wolf #wilddog 🎨

Minuet Allegro 2 053125 mary-bedy.pixels.com/featured/min...

Today is the 6th anniversary of what my mom still insists is the best landscape photograph I’ve ever done. (We had just settled down in rural New Hampshire for the pandemic- little did we know how many months we’d be there!)

The wren is a complex character known as the "King of All Birds". Despite its diminutive size, it holds a mighty, symbolic place in mythology, representing wit, resourcefulness, treachery, and the transition of the seasons. #SmallBirdSaturday #Birds #Nature

Some fun sketches with black fine liner and brush pen! I love corvids and squids! #corvid #crow #raven #art #sketch #squid #sciart #InkArt

can i just have a moment of enjoyment for the frogmouth in all its forms, for every photo of a frogmouth is A Mood. exhibit 1: Sumatran frogmouth

Painted this barn owl on a trading card sized piece using Pentel Aquash brushes and QoR watercolors. Worked from a photo reference. Owls are magical. This series is quietly becoming one of my favorite things I make. #sciart #bird

Happy St. Patrick's Day - here's a soft pastel artwork of shamrocks that I did last year. I like the lighting on these green leaves. Prints & cards are available at the links in my profile. #PastelArt #NatureArt

This red finch art I made as a gift, and it turned out so good! It was done in colored pencils on sanded paper from an exquisite photo.(sadly, I don't remember the photographer.) #art #traditionalart #wildlife #birdart #coloredpencilart #sciart #finch 🦜🎨

'Mockingbird Looking Skyward with Ivy Leaves' is a recent work of mine in soft pastel that is now available as prints & greeting cards at links in my profile. I was happy with how this one turned out. The subtle blue tones give it a peaceful feeling. #PastelArt #birds #art

Spring time is wonderful- this macro shot of a tiny wasp on a tulip petal was taken yesterday. #fresh #photos #photography #macrophotos #macro #tinywasp #wasp #insect #orange #tulip #bloomscrolling #spring #stunday #flowers #petals

I found another version—an even wilder abstract—of the same still life I posted a year ago. Thought I’d share this one too. 🎨 Title: Another One

Embracing the soft-focus glow of early spring for #PinkMon. This saucer magnolia felt more like a painting than a photograph. Prints and high-resolution views available in my floral gallery: avareavesimages.com #photography #ColorADay #flowers #7Artisans #flowers

I feel like I have a lot of favourites, and this is one of them. My watercolour of a barn owl standing in the grass. #watercolours #birdart 🪶

A flying hare crossed the darkness, leaving #Lightning scars behind... Or, perhaps it was some trickery conjured from an overwrought mind... #VSS365 #Writing #Poetry #DailyVerse #SensoryArt

#BlueskyMonay #MountainMonday #AlphabetChallenge #SeekJforJuxtaposition I was amused how the cloud juxtaposed on top of Bishop Peak looked like the mountain was erupting. 🌋😁 The peak is actually a volcanic plug. #ECK #Hiking #LandscapePhotography #BishopPeak #WestCoastKin

This week is spring break, and I’m actually taking time off <gasp!> There’s an art show focused on birds at my local gallery. Thus the bird-specific class from last weekend. I might futz with the berries more, but I might submit this one.
