her ruby eye, wings of pearl
Collared doves aren't the most exotic or beautiful birds, but I'm sure they make a great meal for local raptors, and I think that's wonderful

Ringed seal! Smallest and most common arctic seal. Apparently there’s a fancy “new” distinct ecotype in Greenland that was described this year! :-)
[ID: an illustration of a grey seal with white ring markings on its back in profile facing to the right. It is laying on ice with its head up, against a purple and orange galaxy background. End.]

I’ve always wanted to make a fantasy field guide because my brain chemistry was permanently altered by the kids’ media landscape of the early 2000s. I’ve also really needed to sort of get back to what I love about art lately. So, here’s a little sampler of some… field paintings I did today of some very real subjects.
