Such a good friend! Well spotted.

Ahhhh! So cool! Prairie rattler? I love them and would love to see one someday.

Yeeaaaah. RIP to my apple and cherry blossoms. It was so nice yesterday!

How did you save a rattle baby?

This is so beautiful! Wonderful colors and fun composition.

Gopher snake seen head on, its face very goofy, the process of swallowing a mouse, only the back feet and tail remain.

My studio smells like fox, I don’t know why. *lights incense*

It’s snowing today, but yesterday I observed a beautiful gopher snake scavenge a mouse. I’m glad it got a good snek snack before the freeze. Hopefully it’s holed up under the house and staying warm.

It only took 8 months but I feel less burnt out and I want to do personal work again

I've also got the urge to oil paint again 😏🫢

Silhouettes of coyote bodies hanging on a wire fence, backlit by the dregs of a sunset. One coyote walks atop the wires from where it had just been hanging, trailing ghostly light from their feet and eyes.

Uncanny resilience of coyote.

Painting of pixie cup lichen surrounded by green moss with distant forest in the background. The lichen resembles cups on stalks, and is a pale blue-green color.

Tiny and easy to miss, but common once you look for them. I never get tired of seeing them!

It’s so cool, great work!

A colored pencil drawing of a red fox with a pale gray green background. Her body is slightly turned away from the viewer and her head turned back over her shoulder. Her expression is relaxed, eyes closed and ears tilted back. Her paws are relatively close together under body for balance as her back paws are slightly tilted on an uneven surface. The white of the paper marks a border for the artwork.

Local fox, very relax, very squint.

Pencil sketch of a happy little bat referenced from a very unhappy bat being held by a wildlife rehabber, thus the missing body parts.

Pencil drawings of a fox looking at the viewer, a flamingo dragon laying down, flamingo heads and a skull, and a few bats and bat wings.

Full sketchbook page of studies. Bat wings are so cool, I love the elegance in their shapes.

I’m pretty frustrated how much time has been lost! I’ve had a few good days and there’s so much catch up!

Thank you. :S when the abortive works, I feel great just muddled and slow. But I try to avoid taking them because they also make me sick to my stomach before they work.

Being allergic to them sounds tough. :(

Ahhh this is similar to what I do! If I’m able, I sit in the tub and run alternating hot and cold water, or take a warm bath with cold air from an open window or fan running at the same time. The contrast can help, provided I don’t raise my heart rate.

Thank you.

You’re right, it’s best to get them early. I am reluctant to take meds and I should be better about it, and other times I’ve been waking up with them which is not fair! XD

I’ve been having headaches/migraines almost everyday for the last two and a half weeks and I’m so over it.

I have RX for them, and they work most the time but I’m pudding brain every time.

I don’t normally complain publicly about my pains but I feel like shouting at the universe.

The character Vantid drawn in pencil underwater near the surface so that their reflection shimmers above. One paw pushes the thick mane of fur near their face.

Thank you, I appreciate that. 😊

Splashy maned wolf study.

A wolf leaping, forelegs raised, tail aloft, ears flattened and mouth snarling. The paws drag a line of sparkling droplets.

Sproing! Snarl!

I really like the grippy feets!

Thank you and Yes!! More orchids!There’s many cute patterns and fun colors.

You know, I missed watering for ten days due to being out of town. Maybe they think they are cactus!

No!!

I removed them! 😤

There is one more spot it could push a spike and if it tries, I think I’m going to let it flower.
