Carla Brauer Art @carlabrauer.bsky.social · 28/03/2026A warbling white-eye bird with cherry blossoms felt like the right thing to paint as we welcome another spring. Whatever else is going on, I hope you all can take some time to find joy in colorful flowers and bird song. (Original spoken for) 🌸 #sciart #birdart #watercolor #traditionalart 0313
Carla Brauer Art @carlabrauer.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Got to say hi to my condor friends at @oregonzoo.bsky.social today! #birdsky #condor 021
Carla Brauer Art @carlabrauer.bsky.social · 09/03/2026"California Queen" - acrylic on board, 8x10" I've always loved condors and while this was a challenging painting, I loved creating it. Will work on getting prints made with some of the proceeds to benefit condor reintroduction, so stay tuned! #birdart #wildlifeart #sciart #condor #birdpainting 312534
Carla Brauer Art @carlabrauer.bsky.social · 02/03/2026"Fall Raven," 3x3" mini watercolor that started with the intention of muted colors and evolved into something pretty colorful along the way! Original sold #birdart #sciart #animalart #watercolor #raven #birdpainting #ravenart 0172
Carla Brauer Art @carlabrauer.bsky.social · 24/02/2026I started this painting on the 1st and FINALLY have the head done. Ready to start the last section. Next time I might choose a subject with fewer face wrinkles, whew! 😅 #paintingprocess #birdart #birdsky #birdpainting #sciart #californiacondor #wildlifeart #workinprogress 090
Carla Brauer Art @carlabrauer.bsky.social · 23/02/2026A little (2.75") watercolor nuthatch bird with a 23k real gold leaf border. I will admit I first intended to paint a background, but I got nervous and decided to go with a gilded border instead, and I'm not sorry! Progress photos included. #birdart #birdpainting #nuthatch #watercolor #wildlifeart 2201
Carla Brauer Art @carlabrauer.bsky.social · 23/02/2026"Fight Me!" - watercolor miniature painting of a little crab spider who used to live in my work studio. Sometimes I'd have to carefully move them to safety, and they'd lift their little legs up in a threat display every time. Sorry buddy! #spiderart #watercolor #spiderfriend #crabspider 2589
Carla Brauer Art @carlabrauer.bsky.social · 04/01/2026Today's practice was a quick little luna moth, taking advantage of the colors already on my palette from the ginko leaf #artpractice #sketchbook 030

Carla Brauer Art @carlabrauer.bsky.social · 03/10/2025Thank you #PBS show Jelly, Ben & Pogo for inspiring our 3yo to make the Filipino dessert halo-halo! We took him to an Asian grocery, let him pick out ingredients, and make it just like in the show. Such a fun and delicious way to engage with a different culture. We all learned & tried something new 020

(Hint: Not by subjecting students to traditional civics classes!) In the latest episode of Kohn's Zone, released today, I talk with an expert on this very topic, Joel Westheimer: www.alfiekohn.org/podcasts/alfiekohn.orgPodcastThe Work Of Alfie Kohn 182
Carla Brauer Art @carlabrauer.bsky.social · 01/10/2025Rescued an earwig that ended up in my toddler's bath tonight. My son, who may be the only human ever to have fallen in love with these creatures the moment he saw them, exclaimed "it's SO CUTE! It's GORGEOUS! It's the most adDORable bug EVER!" I don't see it, but I'm glad he does. 010

Carla Brauer Art @carlabrauer.bsky.social · 25/04/2025Got to see this gorgeous Pink Zebra Beauty tarantula at @oregonzoo.bsky.social. Their insect zoo is a favorite spot for our toddler, and usually the tarantulas are snuggled up somewhere hard to see, so this one being out and about was a rare treat! #InverteFest #spiderfriend 070

Carla Brauer Art @carlabrauer.bsky.social · 23/04/2025Our favorite local coffee shop gives our toddler a cup of whipped cream with sprinkles whenever we go. Now as soon as he sees us pulling up, he starts chanting "sprinkle cream!" Did I learn about this option only after asking for a pup cup without the dog bone? Maybe. 🤣 We were dog parents first. 000
