I've been obsessed with Massachusetts's pine barrens recently. It's such a strangely beautiful place! The sandy dunes provide a unique inland habitat for fire-adapted species rich in insects and birds like whip-poor-wills. #ecology #sandbarrens #pinebarrens

Happy International Fox Day! Here's a piece I finished last year "Foxheart" that's part of a series inspired by the work of astronaut Alan Bean. I hand-carved paw prints out of rubber to press into the paint. #fox #AnimalArt #AcrylicPainting #Painting #Artist #NoAIArt #texture

I love making wrap-around paintings because you can get fun effects like this (not to mention, it's kinda nice not needing a frame?) I need to plot out some more like this before the local small works shows start again! #Fox #Surreal #AcrylicPainting #NoAIart #TraditionalArtist

I love texture. I was playing around with a crackle medium that reminded me of reptile skin; it was more subtle than I expected! The background is painted with it, but it just adds some complexity. I love reptiles; I need to paint them more! #AcrylicPainting #Painting #Tortoise #Reptile #Herps
