All in a similar style! Made with the ohuhu nahuku acrylic markers in the Nuuna Bloom sketchbook

This is a gang gang cockatoo! There's an Instagram challenge for Australian birds going on right now :)

This is an acrylic painting I did of a Barred Owl. The Title is “Hidden from the Day”.

Of note, the Carolina Parakeet must have been declared officially extinct before this edition was published.

Louis Agassiz Fuertes was a pretty interesting guy

If you like small, affordable art then you will love the 34th Annual International Miniature Art show! 300+ small works from 100+ artists around the globe. I am honored to be in Parklane Gallery the whole month of July as part of this exhibition.

I am selling my seven Small Birds of the World for $200 each. Each original watercolor is painted with premium lightfast paints on archival 100% cotton paper and triple varnished. Each artwork is ready to hang in a 5x7 frame with custom double mat. The back is finished with a dust cover and a pocket with the Certificate of Authenticity and care guide.

These can only be purchased directly through the gallery during this event. The following link is sorted by price in descending order and I am near the top because I am on the low end of the price range in this event: https://parklanegallery.org/featured/?shopOrder=price

The gallery gets a lot of foot traffic in July (tourist season!), so if something catches your eye, don't delay. The exhibition has been open for exactly one day and there's already more than a dozen pieces sold.

These are miniatures so pay close attention to the size details when you click on an individual piece so you understand what you are buying. For example, my birds are in 5x7 frame but the art itself is incredibly tiny (2 1/2" x 3 1/2" and yes the details were tricky but worth it ha ha).

A painting I did of a Ruby Throated Hummingbird. I hope you like it.

Here is my king fisher.

I have spent the week obsessing over getting her right.

She is much larger then I am used to painting as I'm relatively new and normally only do 6x6 inch.

This is closer to a3.

Where can she be improved? I'm thinking the right side feathers are a problem area.

And possibly a bit more variation in the back ground.

I made Northern Cardinals in Lego form, including a nest.

It was fun designing and building them in brick form. This weekend I showed them off at Brick Universe in North Carolina, it was my first time showing at a convention.

If you like them, I’ve listed them on Lego Ideas for a chance to become an actual set. Please consider supporting! Thank you!
