Packing for a little vacay. Think I’ll actually use all of this?

No, the eagles sit in the tree then dive down and catch fish. It’s super cool to watch!

…quite a bit of rubbish trashed. Much less food packaging now the summer is over, but lots of fishing/boat rope and other plastic waste.

Did you know I take 🎨🖌️commissions? If you’re looking for a unique gift for the holidays, now’s the perfect time to request an artwork for your loved one! But the window for the upcoming holiday season is closing soon!

Some shots from Newcomb Hollow today. Some fishing/boating rope among the rubbish I trashed on my afternoon walk (more balloons included 😡), but reckon these bits will be useful in a creative project. Stay tuned… 👀 #OceanDevotion

Oooph! Thanks for pointing that out!!!! Sometimes changing one setting in Squarespace causes a cascade of issues. Much appreciated.

It’s Studio Friday, and I’ve been splashing paint this afternoon. Making the pieces of this 1st #OceanDevotion Mail Club mailing is so fun & I’ve learned a lot about manta rays! You can too. www.oceandevotion.studio/mailclub

Good afternoon! Still some big surf here in Cape Cod National Seashore, but the calmest it’s been in over a week. This is from White Crest. #OceanDevotion

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

This was from White Crest, where the erosion from the nor'easter wasn't bad, but it got hammered a couple of weeks ago in the rainstorm, so they had to completely redo the ramp.

G’day! It’s a studio Monday for me. I’m simultaneously working on sketches for my next book and field notes for my new Ocean Devotion Mail Club! 🌊💙

Good morning! Just a quick very foggy #OceanDevotion this morning from the top of the bluff. Still some really big surf!

Having great fun this stormy afternoon completing my manta ray research and designing the field note for the first edition of the #OceanDevotion Mail Club! (Sign ups for the manta ray mailing close on October 20! Become a Founding Member www.oceandevotion.studio/mailclub)

Would love to see! Yes, a natural process, but made worse by rising seas and increased storminess.

Marlo Garnsworthy @icebird.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Yup. And through the Pamet area, too. It’s already happening in some areas like Duck Harbor here in Wellfleet.

Good morning! The sea is quite a bit calmer this morning, but ther erosion at Newcomb hollow is wild! More pics later.. #OceanDevotion

It is SO challenging, right?! The most challenging medium in my opinion, but I LOVE its unpredictability. I'm thrilled to hear you're working with them! Hope I get to see what you're doing at some point. 😀

Oh wow! Thanks so much, Laura!!! I'm really excited that other people are liking this idea! It's great fun for me!

Marlo Garnsworthy @icebird.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Thanks, Laura! For this one, I used the same technique I use for many of my books-- a many-layered mix of real watercolor, watercolor in Porcreate, and textures I have created (also from a gazillion layers of watercolor and textures from sand on the beach). It's complex!

Good morning! The state of the nor’easter on Outer Cape Cod this morning… I will go down again at high tide, 2.5 hours from now. #OceanDevotion #noreaster
