It's a day made just for me! #drawabirdday and #portfolioday !

I'm a traditional artist in Edmonds, WA who specializes in bird art. Here are a few examples of what I like to do! ❤️🎨

Commissions are open: ko-fi.com/c/641d0b133a

#art #birdart #sciart #birds
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.

I'm a little behind on a project because ✨LIFE✨ so I'm hoping I can get some of this figured out today.

Several pencil sketches lay out on a desk with an open laptop and a water bottle. From left to right the sketches are: a seal, rockfish, a wolf eel.

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. 😁

Throwback to the lil paintings I did for him when he was in Seattle promoting the initial pub release of Absolution.

After watching Battle at the Bowl I feel the need to draw Ally Beardsley with a pelican on their head. 🏴‍☠️

Historical illustration from 1916 titled "The larger North American mammals" showing two marine mammals. The top image depicts a pair of black-and-white killer whales (orcas) swimming and partially breaching in the ocean, with a pod visible in the distance. The bottom image shows a white whale, or beluga, resting on a sandy shore, characterized by its smooth, rounded body and small dorsal ridge. Both images highlight distinct physical features and natural habitats of these notable North American marine mammals.

Had a really good weekend sale, and now I'm home and exhausted. Tomorrow is "do nothing day" and my pets couldn't be more excited to cuddle all day long!

I did draw both Frozen and Beetlejuice stuff for the kid's musical theater program fundraiser so hooray!
Two drawings, one of Elsa and one of Anna from Frozen. Just line art, no color. Two line art ink drawings of Beetlejuice making an insane popping eyes out face, and the stripy sandworm.

A meme of a big, intimidating black cockatoo with crest raised standing off against a scared lil round, white cockatoo. The black one is labeled Galadriel and says "IN PLACE OF A DARK LORD YOU WOULD HAVE A QUEEN!!!" and the lil white one is labeled Frodo.

If you come to our sale this weekend (Graphite Arts Center 202 Main St Edmonds WA) then you can check out my new orcas and my in progress pieces!

Also I'll probably be working on Frozen and Beetlejuice fan art for my kid's musical theater program, so that's fun. 😁
A desk full of orca art both finished and in progress. A green lamp, a blue water bottle, a closed laptop, and glasses sit on the desk.
