A large vintage frame contains a light grey, limited detail drawing of a barn owl, looking at the viewer over their spread wing. They are glowing in white while surrounded by golden Aspen trees and peeks of turquoise sky. Two very detailed black inked bald eagles suit next to each other on a Pacific madrone branch. To their left and right respectively, are a magnolia busy, and a hydrangea bush. Beyond are the Olympic mountains with a very colorful sunset. A secretary bird is down in profile looking left, with a lilac breasted roller sitting so its head, also in profile, looking right. They are lightly inked and painted with colorful watercolors. The background is a gradiant of bright yellow ascending to rose. A very detailed inked drawing of a great horned owl looking very intense.

Just bought a big set of Pro Acryl miniature paints and we're going to get some of our million year old D&D, etc minis painted finally.

All I had prior was extremely old craft grade Michael's purchased acrylic paints. They were getting chunky they were so old. 😬

I just became aware of this incredibly relatable drawing by John Singer Sargent.
A pencil drawing of a woman reclining in bed, but her hands look kind of fucked up, and her face has been scribbled out, apparently in frustration by the artist

Two new orca pieces in progress at Art Walk tonight. They just make me so happy to paint. 🥰
A pod of orcas swimming. You can only see their dorsal fins sticking out of the water. In progress with indigo paint on the fins, grey for saddle patches, and blue masking fluid. The paper is white. In progress sketch of three orcas "porpoising". Two are still in pencil only. The third is a side view as she jumps forward out of the water. The paper is white.

Attended a really nice talk with @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social tonight. Always fun to hear him talk about his work.

Also in case you were wondering, he would like to be transformed into capybara by Area X. 😁
