Thanks so much! 😊

All the greens in this piece make me happy 🌲

I've been experimenting with drawing 'reflected' compositions by hand. It's challenging but very fun!

Friday Timeline Cleanse 🐚🤿🏖️

A perfect beach morning from a couple weeks ago; here's hoping it won't be too packed this holiday weekend.

A Florida beach scene with turquoise waters, a moody sky, and bare feet in the sand.

The word around town is that the next big thing is Artisanal Imagery, hand-made visuals that you simply have to own if you don't want to be left behind

So lucky to be there at the right time. What a sweet bird.

Aw, I know too well how that looks. 💔 It's the worst knowing there's nothing you can do, other than spoiling them as best you can. It's so hard.

I saw your repost and was reminded I never took a photo! I use this all the time, the art gets lots of compliments.

Boosting to the #SciArt Feed. I really enjoy Kaitlin's artwork & hope you might too. I learn something new about archaeology or art history each time she shares her work! 🐡

Watercolor illustration of a terracotta dog figurine from Boeotia, Greece dating back to around 500 BCE. A simple figurine and yet it evokes all the character of a very happy dog that has found a prized piece of meat.

New to this platform. I am here to share my art. I am an Autistic woman navigating the neurotypical world. Hope to meet some good people and a neurotribe to connect with. @omegafauna.bsky.social brought me here by her Patreon. My first coloring page of hers I have brought to life.

This piece was done in ink & watercolor. It's been a couple years since I created it, but the idea of escaping to an uninhabited island has only become more relevant in these times. 🌺

Finished painting William the Hippopotamus, a cute little artifact at the Met. He’s about 3,900 years old, made of Egyptian faience, and adorned with lotus blossoms.

In 1626, a Cambridge fishwife sliced open a cod, only to find a gelatinous, half-dissolved manuscript inside. It was published the next year under the name "Vox Piscis or, the Bookfish." At this point, why not get your news from inside a dead fish? #earlymodern #bookfish archive.org/details/bim_...

Thanks so much! 💕

As is my usual process, this one started as pencil & ink on paper for the linework. My obsessions with natural history, art history, archaeology & lost worlds (real or imagined) are all tangled up in this piece. 🏺
