It's finally finished. An old tree we saw on one of our hikes here in NH. I always wonder how much they see and feel. I'd love to sit and chat with one for a few years. #sciart #penandink #b&wart #art #dippen

An old tree that I drew in pen and ink. Very distinct bark with lots of knots and twists.

I have personal data centres which I highly recommend. My local libraries, bookshops, my handmade notebooks, paper diary & a fountain pen. We have, IMO, been seduced by those who profit from the high tech kind. Read a book, keep a paper diary, buy a pen & some ink, write notes. Be a rebel!

Old trees are fascinating. They bear the scars of hundreds of years of drought, birds, and humans. Oh to see what thoughts are stored in these old trees. #inkdrawing #penandink #b&wart #inksketch #art #sciart #trees #treeart #tree #fineart

Lupines in a field. A pastel painting I've been working on. Lupines are plentiful on Prince Edward Island as is the red clay. Lots of snow this winter and this painting reminds me that summer is coming. #pei #princeedwardisland #fineart #pastelart #art #flowers #lupines

“In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might beware my power…" I always had a soft spot for Green Lantern, and although this isn't Green Lantern's light we could all use some light during the winter to pick up our spirits. #art #pastelart

A Belted Kingfisher we saw on our afternoon hike yesterday. When we first saw it, the Kingfisher was having a territorial dispute with a Bluejay. It was NOT happy. This was done with pastels. Nature truly is amazing #birds #sciart
