Fall is in the air…. Everyone is busy… I feel like becoming a squirrel gathering bits and pieces of the season for potential paintings even though I don’t have time right now…. Hope this little piece of art helps you find a moment of serenity… 🙏🏼

A watercolor painting of a chestnut. Beautiful brown with shine in the outer skin in contrast to the spiky outer shell. I loved painting it as a symbol of abundance in the fall.

A little something different on Monster October Day 10: ALIEN sketch cover.

I wanted to do white on black for a while. Having turned in all my pages for Pacific Rim gave rare moments of downtime to experiment.

CW: spider

Happy #Invertober day 11!

Dark fishing spider (Dolomedes tenebrosus)

Another master of disguise. I deepened the shadow beneath a bit so that it was visible 😂

#SciArt #Invertober2025

Drawing of a mostly black and white spider that is patterened in such a way that it almost disappears into the gray, black, and white tree trunk it is on.
