New illustration! My favorite thing to do in the fall is search for chanterelles. When we moved into our house in 2012, one of the biggest delights for me was discovering we had them GROWING IN OUR YARD!

New illustration! The Common Raven. I love hearing the croaking and warbles around our house.

www.karinbolstad.com/news/a-new-s... Would you like to see my new art studio? Took about a year to get it all set up. I shared some process pics and the story of how I ended up in my garage in a blog post.... Pictured here: Maggie is in her 13th year of being my studio muse.

If you’ve been following along for a while, you might vaguely remember the winding path my art studio spaces have taken. But maybe not! I did kind of go dark for a while there! Hey look, I’m back! (wa...

Is there anything more PNW than a banana slug eating all your summer strawberries. Answer: no. #tile #delft #bananaslug #whidbey

From wikipedia: "A salmon hat is a cultural fad displayed by orcas, where they wear dead salmon upon their heads." 😆 #tile #orca #salmonhat #delft #whidbey

"Bruiser" Whidbey's lone elk, who has the bad habit of tangling with tarps, tire swings, and once a mooring buoy. Luckily there's always someone to help untangle him. #tile #delft #rooseveltelk #bruiser

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.bsky.social

Just watched youtu.be/ibWyj8d8ulE?... about farmstead in Lofoten. My father used to spend summers there with his grandfather, farming and taking care of goats and drying cod. Here is a scratchboard piece I did of the house and boat house.

Hi everyone! I am an artist living on an island in the PNW. I love following funny smart people and this seems like just the place. I am not as good at the quick quips as many of you wordsmiths are, but I do make pretty pictures. Here's one of my favorite paintings of my Irish Wolfhound Oskar.

Illustration I created on the Procreate App. I'm new to digital art (usually a painter/draw-er person) but I've been REALLY enjoying making things on my iPad with Procreate.
