The Superb Fairy Wren, a charming little species that used to frequent the farm I grew up on.   One of my earliest natural history paintings.

This is the standard winged nightjar and it has one singular stupidly big feather on each wing... if you even care.

Happy New Year! Here is my holiday card from 2023. As an experiment, I ran this image through Glaze, one of several projects being developed at the moment to protect art and artists from having their work stolen by machine learning algorithms to feed computer generated art programs. Glaze was developed by the SAND Lab at the University of Chicago. It was quite a lengthy process- after I downloaded the app it took me well over an hour to glaze this single 200dpi image. I can see the subtle differences the program made when comparing this version to the original, but no one looking at it without the original would be likely to spot them. Unless the process of glazing an image speeds up considerably, I am unlikely to glaze everything I post online. However, I do plan to glaze artworks that I especially love, took me a long time to complete, or which I feel are more vulnerable to being stolen. Here's to making and sharing lots more art in 2024, despite all the complications!

Today I spotted a Robin nest in one of the apple trees. It looked fresh and had no eggs in it so I decided to take a chance and put a Birdsy camera there. It was so cute to see the bird sing while in the nest.⁠
