Not something I usually post but here's an Eastern Carpenter Bee (Xylocopa virginica) that I pinned and set on some bumblebee jasper inside a small amethyst geode.
Also quick side note, I found this specimen already dead, I don't condone killing insects for art.

Just a quick comparison of a piece from 2019 and my most recent painting. A lot has changed but has also stayed the same.

I think I'm gonna go ahead and call this piece done. After struggling with art block and imposter syndrome amongst other things it was nice to just create something for fun.

Finally painting a new piece. Very much a work in progress at the moment but I'm very open to critique (especially for the water cause somethings not sitting right with me.)

Here's a gouache study that I did a while back that I never really shared, so why not for #worldwhaleday

Wasn't expecting to see an Eastern Screech Owl on my afternoon walk.
