People are deleting the Merlin app because of the Cornell news?! This is THE dumbest most performative BS I think I've ever seen. That free app is relied on by bird scientists. We collect data to HELP THE BIRDS each time we use it! Bird lovers hurting the birds and scientists who study them.

It’s taken me a few days, but I’ve completed my research (aka fallen down a delightful manta ray-shaped rabbit hole) and designed the field note (tricky but still fun). Now, it’s paintin’ time! 🎨🖌️ Find out more about the Ocean Devotion Mail Club here: www.oceandevotion.studio/mailclub

Good morning! The outer clouds of the nor’easter are here, and the sea and wind are roaring here on Outer Cape Cod. This is from White Crest. It’s going to be an… interesting weekend! I’ll share videos throughout the storm (safety permitting). #OceanDevotion

Manta ray painting, after the sketching I shared a few days ago. I’ve always loved rays. It’s delightful watching their elegance, speed, & curiosity. I also love the way light plays across the sand when I’m underwater. I’ve aimed to capture both in this piece. #OceanDevotion #sciart

Good morning! Still having issues uploading video, so this one's on my YT*. The autumnal equinox is at 8:05 pm EDT, but the weather is already autumn-like. Wild. #OceanDevotion (*Liking & subscribing on YT helps more people find my channel! 🙏)

I’ve just taken these of the erosion at White Crest in Wellfleet, Cape Cod, due to our huge rainstorm yesterday. It’s totally washed out the ramp down to the beach.

Good morning! No #OceanDevotion sunrise this morning because I’ll be out on the ocean all day today! Today is my research trip to study whales for my next book WHALE BUBBLES by @janetnolan.bsky.social with @weboflifebooks.bsky.social. [Little watercolor study: work-in-progress from yesterday.]

Welcome to Studio Friday and a mini tour of my studio! Now that I’ve launched my new #OceanDevotion art store, I’ll be sharing more painting videos. But first I thought you might like to meet me and see the space & materials I’m working with.

Good morning! Busy week, so I haven't gotten to the beach for sunrise, but I did enjoy a beach sunset picnic last night! And so can you, but you'll need to bring your own wine and cheese. Here are your ~13 minutes of peace & calm from Outer Cape Cod. #OceanDevotion

For context, I helped my daughter move herself and this very good boy from Maine to Oregon yesterday. He was so very good on that very long journey!
