Some #whittling and a bit of #poetry inspired by the Black Woodpecker for September's #BirdWhisperer challenge. Nature's own whittler is pecked from wood and revealed; irony ingrained. #haiku #BirdArt #Birds #nature #art #BskyArt #BskyPoetry

"The forest is gone! The forest..!Holy Worm what happened to you?!" "It seems I've been eating in my sleep again." "What did you eat??" "Apparently the whole forest." #BirdWhisperer

Drawing of a Black Woodpecker that's turned into a massive ball with tree stumps in the background and a speech bubble that says oops I seem to have eaten the whole forest in my sleep.

It's #BirdWhisperer day! Here's my black woodpecker in all hues of black, blueish black and purplish black 🖤💙💜

Drawing of a black woodpecker clawed into the thick branch of a tree in front of a black tree hole.
The tree is drawn realistically while the bird is tessellated into triangles and coloured so that no two adjacent areas are in the same hues.

Day 30! - #carbon Double duty! It’s also #BirdWhisperer Project posting day. Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius). Found in mature forests across Europe and parts of Asia. The deep black was a challenge, but it fit the carbon theme nicely. #SciArtSeptember #birdart #watercolor

Watercolor illustration of a crow-sized black woodpecker. Facing right and clinging to a tree trunk in front of a large nest cavity. The bird has a red cap and a powerful ivory-colored bill.

Happy #BirdWhisperer Day! Kept it simple this time around as my patience seems to have left the building 😂

Digital drawing of a black woodpecker. It is a largish-medium bird clinging to the side of a gray tree and has a long cream-colored bill, iridescent black feathers that are shining light blue where the light hits, and a tiny bit of red just along the back of its head.

Since the theme of today's #AuGhost happened to be #realism, I took the liberty of combining it with this month's #BirdWhisperer project! The ghosts have discovered a very unusual garden visitor: an African Grey Hornbill. (It may be lost and looks slightly irritated about it 😂) #BirdArt

August #BirdWhisperer is the African Grey Hornbill I love how hornbills have such grumpy little old man faces, they're delightful :) The painting was an exercise in simplifying the composition without losing too much. I like the solution I landed on #watercolor #art #birdart #birds 🦉

M meant to do another acrylic painting for #BirdWhisperer this month but then didn't get around to it so here is a very angery li'l pen sketch.

A pen sketch of a bird with a big head and a very large, hooked, hornlike bill. It looks angry. Written on the image are the words "August 2026, African Grey Hornbill, MKH".

May 2026 #BirdWhisperer project bird is the Vermilion Flycatcher! Once again, decided to add the female in with the bright colored male. Only for my own curiosity to remember these birds. :) #Bird #BirdArt #birdartist #ornithology #SciArt #NatureArt #WildlifeArt #bskyart #BirdWhispererproject

Digital sketch study of the Vermilion Flycatcher. Male and Female variants.

From ebird: Small, gorgeous flycatcher of open habitats. Adult males have brilliant red underparts and crown with dark brown upperparts and mask behind eye. Females and immature males are much duller grayish-brown, but usually show pink or yellowish color on belly. Widespread; occurs from the southwest U.S. to Argentina. Found in many open woodlands and brushy areas, often seen perched on fence posts along roadsides. Feeds on insects.

An Australian Golden Whistler for the #BirdWhisperer challenge for April. Used Meedan heavy body acrylic to get some texture on the bird and leaves. It worked with the palette knife but not with brushes on textured paper. #art #birdart #birds #australianbirds #acrylic #painting #nature #birdlovee

A closer up image of my acrylic painting of an Australian Golden Whisler. The bird has a black crown, yellow chest and olive green wing feathers and is perched on a branch.

A photo of the complete acrylic painting of an Australian Golden Whisler perched on a branch. The bird has a black crown, yellow chest and olive green wing feathers. In the background are suggestions of leaves and branches in greens, purples and the odd spot of pink and orange. I was playing around with colours. The branch is light purple, with spots of red, orange and white.
