Just your normal pile of #fossils and #rocks that everyone has laying around. Nothing weird.

Trilobite, Utah, Cambrian. Not from the State lease mines. Not an Elrathia...but it's name escapes me at present.

#art #wip #pencil #derf I absolutely love that I still don't know which way is up. Lolz.

Work in progress, pencil drawing with three female faces about half formed, a tapestry sort-of affair runs left-right above the pretty people

This one turned out to be a commission for a family member who knows the true functions of the tanks pictured ("Sour Gas"). "Oilfield" tanks and a few Antelope ( Pronghorn). #Art #Watercolor #oilfield #wildlife

#Februarty #Artyear It feels a little like Americana, I guess

Street by the beach scene. Americana kind-of. Three boats, -one large- are shown offshore. The colors are pastels mostly. Two cars are visible, the closer is green, where a woman in red has just stepped on the curb. Two other people are visible on the left side, the one in a yellow dress is closer to the observer. A pale yellow cloud above the sea contrasts with the blue sky and ocean at the horizon.

We have a puppy toy that is a pig that can sing and repeat what you say. Tonight, I was cooking burgers and some grease splattered. Hilariously, I got to hear pig say "OH FUCK!"
