Horace Vernet, 'Hunting in the Pontine Marshes' (1833)

https://www.nga.gov/collection/art-object-page.70970.html
A leafless, ash-white tree trunk has fallen from a broken stump into the wide V of a neighboring tree at the edge of a body of water near a verdant forest in this horizontal landscape painting. The fallen trunk creates a diagonal from near the lower left corner to the upper right. As it fell, it sheared off a substantial branch from a neighboring tree with a dark trunk. The bark where the damaged branch has pulled away is honey-orange, the same color as the leaves at the canopy, which has been pinned under the fallen trunk. Trees, vines, and other vegetation fill the space around and beyond this pair. In the lower right corner of the painting, vines grow over a broken stump, which deep in shadow. Between the stump and fallen tree, the peanut-brown surface of the water is smooth. Tiny in scale beneath the fallen tree and easily overlooked, there are two men and a dog in a boat. One man stands at the back of the boat and pushes it along with a long pole. He wears a tall, brown, cloth hat, a white shirt rolled up to the elbows under a blue vest, and loose-fitting pants. A second man wears a flat-topped, white hat with a black brim, a long, forest-green jacket, and tight-fitting slate-blue pants. He braces a rifle against one shoulder and shoots into the forest. The dog is white with brown spots, and it stands with its front paws on the edge of the boat, presumably ready to spring after the target. A patch of blue sky with puffy white clouds is seen above the trees in the upper left corner. The artist signed and dated the work in the lower right corner: “H. Vernet Rome 1833.”

Did today’s #BirbFest2025 bird take me all day, why yes, yes it did! Was it worth it…yes I’m proper pleased with it. Here be the Cassowary… #Birds #SciArt #ArtChallenge #BirbFest #ArtSky #WildlifeArt #Cassowary

An original digital illustration of a Cassowary bird by Loadofolbobbins. The illustration focuses on its neck and head. A very dinosaur looking bird the Cassowary has a bright reddish orange wrinkled neck and wattle that transitions to a bright intense blue face with sharp angles of the skull visible underneath its skin. It has a beak slightly elongated and pointed downwards. It has a large eye with a yellowy orange iris that is glistening in the sun. On top of its head is a casque, which is an enlargement of the bone from its upper skull and looks almost like a Mohawk and is an array of greens in colour. The background is a splash of light grey ink.

Timbergremlet hiding in the canopy of the ever-moist mossforest on the island of Fern These little guys are the smallest species of one of the few remaining monkeys living in Europe. Additional Info in the Alt-Text. #specbio #specevo #sciart #worldbuilding #gouache #nature #illustration #art

The males have bright reddish pink faces, caused by many small blood vessels under the skin. Female monkeys have slightly darker faces and an all black coat.

Timbergremlets or Woodwise are also common on the british islands. Most of them can be found on the island of Fern, where their german name is Waldgreis, "old man of the forest".
There are tales going back to the middle ages, where people lost in the woods get led out by a lone smart Waldgreis.

Selective Sanctuary • gouache & watercolor on paper For a group show at 301 Gallery in collaboration with Friends of the Columbia Gorge, who gave artists access to lands they steward to inspire their work for the show; in this case, a habitat site for the endangered western pond turtle.

floaty watercolor painting in subdued blues and browns, depicting a mature western pond turtle surrounded by three baby pond turtles, interwoven with strands of western pond lily leaves, roots, and decaying spent flower pods. everything is drifting and floating as if underwater, but background is negative space in a warm cream tone.
