Great Blue Heron

#art #digital #digitalart #bird #wadingbird #greatblueheron #heron #wildlife #sciart #artnwill #myart
Digital painting of a Great Blue Heron. The background of the drawing is made of various shades of orange, ranging from a light orange to a rusty, almost brown color. The background is very textured, with some places being smooth and others showing more of the brush strokes. The bird is drawn in a side view profile and is facing to the right from the left side of the canvas. He is made up of various shades of blues, a bit of turquoise and aquas, and white. The style of this painting is realistic, with the artist depicting plumage.

Great Horned Owl

#art #digital #digitalart #digitalpainting #bird #greathornedowl #owl #wildlife #animalart #sciart #artnwill #myart
Digital painting of a Great Horned Owl. The artist replicated oil type brush strokes with much of the painting consisting of loose brush strokes. The owl is looking at the viewer directly on and the artist used blue, white, light orange and brown colors for the drawing. They also included a signature and date made in the far most bottom left corner of the painting.

In 2025 I really got back into traditional media, learned a lot more about working in 3D, and painted many, many dinosaurs. Cheers to 2026, and may we all paint more of what we love #paleoart #dinosaurart #tellmeaboutyourfavoritedinosaur

Cow eating grass- painted digitally

#art #cow #digital #digitalart #animalart #bovine #artwork #wildlife #painting #artnwill
Digital painting of a cow. The cow is made of up both brown and white with the brown be spotted in some areas and the white being the main color of the cow. The cow is eating grass and has its head obscured from one side and we mostly see the side view of the cow. The background is a blend of light and dark greens and the grass is a more mustardy yellow green. The artists's signature is in the bottom right corner and the date is added as 2024.

Well, 2025 was the year I exhibited (and sold) 2 drawings in an actual real exhibition, surrounded by incredible pieces of art. I'd like to thank everyone who has liked, shared, commented on or even just looked at my work this year. You lot are awesome.

Y'all love a blue bird, so here's Costa Rica's answer, a Blue-Gray Tanager. I can't get over how close the color is to our Mountain Bluebird. #Birding #Costarica

“Before the Storm”. Coloured pencil and oil pastel on watercolour paper. While I didn’t want to pet this hyena, or get any closer, he did intrigue me, and the artist in me was captivated by the textures of fur and muzzle. #SciArt
Coloured pencil drawing of the profile of an orange and tan mammal with dark spots and a dark muzzle, stretching out his neck and pricking his ears forward.

It's going to be a big finch year, and I've been seeing reports of Pine Grosbeaks in Northern MN already! I painted these in 2023, shortly after the first and only time I've seen these lovely birds.

#BirdArt #SciArt #Watercolor #FineArt #AnimalArt
Detailed watercolor painting of a pair of pine grosbeaks perched on a spruce branch. The male is on the left of the image and light-red with black and white wings. The female is standing in front of the male's tail and is gray with orange-yellow on her head with black and white wings.

Feeling tired of Watercolor. Got a new sketchbook that doesnt take it well but takes pencil amazing. So Instead I colored a traditional sketch digitally. Have not digitally colored in a while so this is a nice change of pace. What do you think? #digital #sciart #bugsky #sketchbook #sketches

Earlier this year, biologist Gregory O’Corry-Crowe and an international research team used drones to observe narwhals in the wild. They learned surprising new things about the whales' behavior: buff.ly/DqSBGFM
"They have very complex, sophisticated societies, and there's a lot of interesting interactions between individual animals and other species. And the hits just keep coming. Every day we fly, we see something completely new and amazing." —Dr. Greg O'Corry-Crowe
