It’s been a while since I last posted as I have been having problems with my eyes. But I managed to paint this little fella - slowly and over many days - in Procreate. I hope you like him. Reference Photo credit: Sue Rickhuss

This is a drawing of a barn owl that was done in Procreate with an Apple Pencil. It has the look and feel of a pastel drawing and is done in a realistic style.

Today I give you… The Lesser Snostrich (Field Notes in ALT text) Painted in Procreate with AquaReal Brushes

Lesser Snostrich (Gastropoda Struthio)
Head and body 5 feet; shell 4 feet. Feathered foot, long neck, conch and calcium carbonate shell. Whirl size increases as Snostrich ages. Sounds: a variety of chirps, hisses, growls and honks.

If entertaining a group of snostrich in your own home be sure to have plenty of Earl Gray Tea on hand, and a good supply of mini cucumber sandwiches. Crumpets are also a good option.

On Friday’s keep an eye out for them down the salon where they are most likely enjoying a blow-dry and gossip with the girls. Males are active swimmers and will try and out-perform each other in an attempt to impress the females. On Friday’s keep an eye out for them down the local pub where they are most likely having a beer and watching the game.

My latest Lucky Stone creation. $10 + Shipping. See Alt text for more info. Comment below to claim.

In the Finger Lakes region of New York State the term Lucky Stone is given to the small dark stones we sometimes find at the water’s edge that have fossil worm holes right the way through them. Legend has it that they bring good luck to those who possess them.

I hand-pick these myself and turn them into miniature works of art just for you. They make great little gifts and can be attached to jacket zippers, backpacks, bags, key rings etc for a unique, decorative - and, of course, lucky - touch.

This particular one is paired with a silver rooster charm and features a chain of red and green beads. There is a heart shaped lobster clasp at the other end to enable it to be attached to the object of your choice.

Introducing the Southern Bunny Bee (Apis Sylvilagus) Please read alt text for description ;) Painted in Procreate with AquaReal Brushes #art #commissions

Southern Bunny Bee (Apis Sylvilagus)
Head and Body 0.79 in. (20mm); ears 0.39 in. (10mm). Robust little creatures with hair all over their bodies. Colors include yellow, black and orange/rust.
Habits: Ground nesters. Often use the abandoned burrows of the Eastern Rhimouseros. Meticulous housekeepers. Do not be surprised if you are asked to remove your shoes when visiting. This particular species is unusual in that instead of carrying pollen in pollen baskets located on the legs, they collect pollen on their large fluffy ears. Individuals will perform elaborate dances to inform other Bunny Bees of the presence of pollen; a particular favorite being The Floss. May be found sipping honey mimosas on hot summer evenings.
