Discovered a hidden woodland garden, just off the beaten path, bursting with rare Pink Lady Slippers #ladyslippers #orchids #bloomscrolling #flowers #naturephotography #spring #springephemerals

Photograph of a group of Pink Lady Slippers or Moccasin Flower (Cypridedium Acaule). They belong to the orchid family and have become somewhat hard to find due to their symbiosis with a particular fungus, their slow growth rate and unique propagation ecology.

Have you ever nibbled on your subject matter?! #watercolor #watercolorsketch #watercolorpainting #sketch #fruit #grapes

Watercolor sketch of a bunch of red grapes, warm golden colors in the background and purples in the reflection. Subject matter was eaten once sketch was complete!

What’s going on? #blackpaper #natureart #wildlifeart #drawing #animalart #raccoon #racoon

White pencil on black paper drawing of three little raccoon faces. They are huddled together looking at the viewer. They appear from the blackness hesitantly ready to scurry away at the first sign of danger.

Comic relief crew #drawing #birdart #ostrich #graphite #wildlifeart #natureart

Graphite pencil drawing of two ostriches, one staring at the viewer with a hint of a smile. A touch of comedy for those of us who feel like burying our heads in the sand.

“If you don’t think then you shouldn’t talk.” -The March Hare #blackpaper #hare #hares #natureart #wildlifeart #lewiscarroll #marchhare #StandWithUkraine

Two hares drawn on black paper with white pencil. They appear watchful and ready to leap away. Their eyes are wide open and ears standing at attention! The term “mad as a March hare” comes from the fact that the hare mating ritual, in the spring, is filled with boxing matches, leaps and bounds and madcap chases! Many of us feel like frightened hares in an increasingly dangerous world, our eyes darting and watching for the next blow, but know that hares are mighty, nimble, and fierce fighters, and they are far from mad!

The wolf - the essence of wisdom, unity, courage and freedom #watercolor #wolfpainting #wolfart #wildlifeart #animalart #wolf

Watercolor painting of a wolf using light washes to give an airy feeling to the fur while focusing on the intensity of the eyes

Out of the darkness! White pencil on black paper #owl #birdart #drawing #blackpaper #natureart #sciart #wildlifeart #nature

Using a white pencil on black paper to bring an owl into view. Working with this method is tricky as you have to think in reverse - the darks are already there, you have only to introduce the light.

Growing up in Maine, I always had shells in my pocket Watercolor journal sketch #watercolor #naturejournal #natureart #oceanart #seashells #Maine

Mussel shell treasure - I was always fascinated that such soft creatures could create, seemingly blindly, such beautiful armor in cobalt, purple and pearl

All ears! African Painted Dogs live in a social structure with an alpha pair. They take care of the young, ill and elderly allowing them to eat first. #graphite #wildlifeart #animaldrawing #natureart
