It's Thanksgiving in the US today! I thought it would be nice to do a sketch study of the Ocellated Turkey, a species of turkey found as far south as the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico, and parts of Belize and Guatemala. Much more colorful than the Eastern US turkey. 🦃 #BirdArt

January 2025 #BirdWhisperer project bird is the Common Loon! Growing up in Minnesota, I'd go on camping outings in the north. I'd sometimes hear the ghosts of the water call out and its somethings that never leaves you. #BirdArt #ornithology #SciArt #NatureArt #WildlifeArt

A quick sketch for the Chinese Lunar New Year, the year of the Snake! 🐍🎉 I love snakes just as much as birds, and we have two rescue ball pythons. 😏 So I very much felt the vibe to sketch one. The color pattern here is improvised^ #animalart #snake #reptileart
