This was a great webinar! Thank you to Roseann Hanson and @wildwonder.bsky.social for making this available. I learned a lot!

As John Muir Laws says, “It’s the pencil miles.” Drawing is a skill that comes with practice. Here are 3 drawings of a Titmouse that I did over about 3 years with hundreds of different drawings in between. 🪶🖌️✍️ #Drawing #NatureJournal #DailySketch #BirdArt

Drawn on January 1, 2020. A pencil sketch of a Titmouse that has the basic look of a Titmouse, but is a rudimentary drawing. The very first sketch I did when I started drawing every day…still going today about 1,846 days later.

Drawn on December 5, 2021.
The same Titmouse as my very first daily sketch. More detail and better proportions than the first sketch.

Drawn on January 19, 2023.
My third sketch of the same Titmouse. Much better proportions and attention to detail.

There is a Hibiscus shrub next to the parking lot of the place where I buy mealworms 🐛 The summer flowers 🌺 are lovely but the seed heads in winter ❄️ are wonderfully complex and fascinating to #draw 🌿🖌️ #Phenology #NatureJournal #DailySketch (Wide format photo)

Pen and watercolor sketch of the seed heads from a Hibiscus shrub in winter. Sketch shows an overall view of the shrub the successive enlargements of a small branch, one seed head, and an individual seed. The seed head is like a 3-dimensional 5-pointed star.

I do love a good seed head in the snow. Memories of summer days, the promise of food for #birds 🪶 , and a reminder that #phenology is fun and rewarding.

A Yellow-bellied sapsucker feeding/murdering a crabapple tree in my yard. It took them about 3 years, but they seem to have completely girdled it.

I’ve seen a gray fox eating birdseed in my yard a few times in the last couple weeks. I’d never seen one that close before. I hope it doesn’t make a snack of the chipmunks 🐿️ that live in the retaining wall! I’m pretty partial to those little critters. #mammals 🦊 #nature 🌿 #art 🖌️ #wildlife

I’m not well versed at abstraction when I #draw and #paint, my mind just doesn’t work that way. However, playing about with #embroidery 🧵 has forced me to dabble in the abstract. This Hawthorn #tree is in #Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 with Nielsen’s Monument off in the background. From a photo by a dear friend.

Continuing to learn #embroidery 🪡 via cool people who share teaching videos on YouTube. I’ve tried to interpret my own painting of blueberry 🫐 barrens in Maine as an embroidered piece 🧵 I definitely learned a lot.

My Nana passed away in 2015. She was a marvelous quilter but amongst her things was a shoebox full of #embroidery floss. I decided to try this out and just finished my first beginner project. Only a few simple stitches but this seems to feed my need for art and precision. Thank you Nana 🥰 🧵 🪡

Still organizing sketches from 2023 (I should learn to do this as time goes by instead of at the end of the year 🙄). Here is a gathering of some mammal sketches 🦊

A collage of sketches of mammals, mostly pencil and colored pencil, but a little watercolor too. My renditions of a bighorn sheep, a seal pup, a mischievous black cat, a sloth, a chipmunk with a strawberry, a bunny, a highland cow, a porcupine that lives in our yard and we call “Wilbur”, and my cat Guinness (AKA Battle Cat).

For my final #ArtAdventCalendar post on day 24, I wanted to post my favorite painting from 2023–turns out that’s a harder choice than I thought! I’m going with “most deeply satisfying result”: UNSEEN PILLARS, probably my best pearlescent-on-black to date, and one I sold to a dear friend. 💜 #SciArt

A watercolor painting on a black background, with rainbow clouds framing a portion of the Eagle Nebula star-forming region as seen by the James Webb Space Telescope in combined images of near- and mid-infrared light. The near-infrared light brings out the myriad of stars in the region, while the mid-infrared light shows the dust, a primary component in star formation.
