For #SundayFishSketch, not a sketch per se, but I have a WIP fish vase I’m making out of clay! Does anyone have glaze ideas?

For #SundayFishSketch this week, I was inspired by a Mary Oliver poem and painted a spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias). These friends have some of the longest gestation periods of any animals, which last 18-24 months.

Watercolor painting of a slender shark on a blue/green background facing to the right of the page. Above the shark are the words “Dogfish/ …And nobody gets out of it, having to/swim through the fires to stay/in this world.
Below the shark and to the left are the words “…And probably/if they don’t waste time/looking for an easier world/they can do it”.

More pottery for #SundayFishSketch! Here are some tuna on a garlic grater plate. I’ve been trying to combine watercolor techniques and underglaze!

A small plate in a hand with ruffled ridges on the rim of the plate and a blue textured center. On the top and bottom of the plate, there are fish painted in blue.

My #SundayFishSketch has been in the works for the last several weeks (sorry for being so absent) but it’s a yellow perch (Perca flavescens) on a matcha bowl I threw on the wheel!

My #SundayFishSketch this week is a yellow boxfish, one of my favorite to paint because of their fun shape! Always good to practice depth with watercolors!

My friends had a housewarming party and had us paint on their wall as part of it! So my #SundayFishSketch this week is a brook trout blessing the walls of Kate and Trey’s new home ❤️

Being from Minneapolis, these past few weeks have been especially heavy. I’ve been painting fish again to calm my nerves. Here is a tangerine darter in breeding colors for my first #SundayFishSketch in a while.

An arctic char for the #SciArtSeptember Borealis theme and a late #SundayFishSketch. I tried an experiment where I painted with only two colors.

So, not only is my kid's healthcare illegal for doctors to provide him in the state we live in, he can no longer be treated out of state and risks losing access to the evidence backed peer reviewed medication that has changed his life for the better because we are ruled by monsters and cowards

An email we got from the University of Michigan Health:

A message to our patient
community
Our health care teams share a commitment to meet the needs of our patients and our communities, and we work earnestly to provide compassionate, comprehensive, and evidence- based care to every person, every time. We are honored to have had the opportunity to provide comprehensive gender affirming care for our communities, and we are disappointed to share difficult news regarding this care for patients under age 19.
In response to unprecedented legal and regulatory threats to our clinicians and our institution, we have made the difficult decision to stop prescribing puberty blockers and gender affirming hormones for patients under age 19.

Quick #SundayFishSketch of a zebra shark at the airport. These endangered friends are nocturnal and hunt and feed mostly on crustaceans, mollusks, and small boney fishes

Happy #SundayFishSketch! I finally finished my red shiner in honor of pride! Red shiners are a common baitfish which has led to them becoming invasive in areas where bait buckets have been dumped. A reminder to not dump your baitfish into the water when you are fishing!

I finally finished my painting of my golden tilefish (Lopholatilus chamaeleonticeps), for #SundayFishSketch! These fish have a unique burrowing behavior and their age of sexual maturity has been significantly impacted by overfishing.

Been playing with some variations of my linocut from last #SundayFishSketch! #sciart

A photograph of three prints lined up vertically on carpet. The prints are of a black linocut block print of a sturgeon. The first print has a purplish blue watercolor circle near the fish’s head. The middle print had a more sky blue circle near the fishes head. The last one has a light blue watercolor circle near the fish’s tail

Art drawn by people who very rarely make art and think they are “bad at art” is 1000x cooler than AI art. It’s life-affirming. It’s often unexpected. I cannot overemphasize how much I love when people just go for it. You do not need the machine for this human endeavor.

A sketch of a beige fish, Pycnodontiformes, overlaid on a photo of its fossil. The color beige is an assumption only.

Rene's #SundayFishSketch prompt for us was "Fossil" so here's my take on Aquilolamna milarcae, the strange Late Cretaceous shark that mirrored modern-day manta rays! Definitely one of the more "Studio Ghibli"-looking sharks out there. I would hop on this Sharkbus, wouldn't you? 🦑🐡🧪

It's #sundayfishsketch time again. The brief this week was "Fossil". Since I find evolutionary biology so fascinating, I really wanted to draw a "missing link," so here is #Tiktaalik. This one pushed me technically to try new things to get it right.
