Watching Charlie Brown for the first time since childhood. As a watercolor painter I adore how they allowed the paint to behave like paint in the background. Using blossoming (normally avoided) for the sky and grass.

My Gargoyle Gecko, Brooklyn, peeling the last of her old skin off her tail like a sock. Lots of animals that shed will eat the old skin. 🦎 #gargoylegecko #reptile #herp

Nanotyrannus attacking a young Tyrannosaurus is super common in paleoart especially in the last few weeks. Won’t stop me from depicting it too. Enjoy the new #watercolor. #paleoart

Every October I try to cover a creature with a spooky/mobster name for Halloween on my site, Prehistoric Beast of the Week. This years is very much overdue. In the meantime who can ID these ones from past years?

Newest #paleoart is Hesperosuchus running off with a stolen Coelophysis egg. Not often you see the little pseudosuchian preying on the dinosaur. Figured I’d switch it up. #watercolor #sciart

Coyote on the trail camera under my back deck. I’ve never heard or seen any in the years I’ve been there. Just another reason not to let your cats roam outside and your dogs off leash while hiking. 🐺

The Red Phalarope that was in the middle of DC this past week. One of the few sexually dimorphic birds where females are the ones who exhibit display colors. 🪶

Speedpainted Zavecephale, the newly described pachycephslosaur from Mongolia. It was a juvenile when it died but its dome was fully formed. #paleoart #dinosaur #Zavacephale #watercolor
