This harlequin beetle is probably the most amusing example of me having spent hours drawing detail that's barely perceptible in the final image. I need help.
Great to see a pair of red kites very close to home today. First time I’ve seen them in this area and hoping they’re here to stay.
I am a Japanese artist who loves the sky. Do you love the sky?
Here’s what our sightings map looks like so far for 2026! We’d love to cover as much of Scotland as possible, so keep an eye out for both red and grey squirrels if you live in or visit one of the gaps. Submit your squirrel sightings here: buff.ly/k6ANjgX
European goldfinch Watercolour on silk mounted on paper, 84 × 118 mm. Referenced from a photograph by Paul Fisher.
Natee (they/them)@himmapaan.bsky.social · 8mo agoEuropean goldfinch. Watercolour on silk mounted on paper. I had to wash out and repaint the scapulars and marginal coverts three times. Hugely relieved it worked out in the end. 🥲 I'll post the full piece when it will be available at auction next week. 🙏
There’s the three. Snow in January on a Calderdale little farm. Lots went wrong but lots went right and I’m happy. That’s all the snow pics now until it returns.
My girl Nessa is 4 today. Wouldn’t get out for half as many walks to enjoy nature without the company of her and my other dogs. #bordercollie #dogsofbluesky

Another first for me aka another dog walk bonus. Hair Ice in the local woods today. Apparently a fungus, Exidiopsis Effusa causes it on rotting broadleaved wood in certain conditions. #hairice #exidiopsiseffusa #fungus #fifewoods

This piece was in our main library in 2015 for a couple of months & a woman told me she would stop by on her lunch break & just sit & look at it almost daily because it gave her some peace. Few better compliments. Shore 55×40 140×101cm Oil on Canvas 2015 #ArtAdventCalendar
Day twenty-three of #ArtAdventCalendar Here is a coloured pencil drawing of a mountain hare in the snow.
#ArtAdventCalendar Day 23 Another old one. A watercolour of a snow covered tree trunk. An unusual viewpoint, I liked the close up snow, moss and bark on the main trunk snaking up against the distant trees and sky. #watercolour #watercolourpainting #traditionalart #sciart #treeart #tree

"Forest Attendant" Black-Capped Chickadee 5"x7" Oil on panel Chickadees are wonderful in so many ways. They're often the first birds to investigate a new situation, and other birds watch & follow them to find food sources. The friendly local 'dees often bring other birds to my yard, to my delight.
