For the #BlueSkyArtShow, I'm showing #Lights through water with my acrylic painting of a platypus, called "Aussie Diver". It was a fun picture to do & I'm pleased with the way it turned out. #art #painting #nature #underwater #Artists #Australianwildlife #mammals

Sunflowers capture the #Golden days of Summer's end. My acrylic painting of one with a chickadee checking its seeds is my entry into today's #BlueSkyArtShow #art #Birds!🪶 #nature #artists #flowers #painting

This is great news. And looks like an efficient little hunter, too.

RIP Annie Dillard, one of the great, if not the greatest, non-fiction stylists of our time www.nytimes.com/2026/09/16/b...

Annie Dillard, Meditative Author of ‘Pilgrim at Tinker Creek,’ Dies at 81

Her Thoreau-like account of journeys in the woods, published when she was 28, was the first of many ruminations on life and nature, good and evil.

This is a European adder #Undulating across a beach. The sand would be #Undulating too, if we could see more of it. Pen & ink on calligraphy paper, with grass in acrylic. A different subject for #BlueSkyArtShow . #art #drawing #reptiles #artists #summer

First time in the #BlueSkyArtShow with my painting of a chambered nautilus in acrylic on mulberry paper. How's that for #Minimal? #art #painting #artists #SciArt #MarineCreatures #undersea

This is sublime.

someone direct me to the nearest wood drake habitat?

As a longtime admirer of Andrew Wyeth, I've always wanted to try painting with egg tempera. My sister got me a gift certificate for my birthday to buy some, which I did earlier this summer. Only got 4 colors, just to see if I like them. When I finish the preliminary sketches, I'll take the plunge.

So amusing.

black cat appreciation day you say #art #artshop theyetee.com/miski

This is a splendid painting, with the colors, the rocks echoing the shapes of the armadillos and the unusual subject. So well done, as always.

It was apparently #ArmadilloDay on the 13th August.

This artist does splendid dragon art, both paintings & lino prints. Definitely worth checking out.

These are terrific! They have great energy and the bold colors are appealing. Really like their style & appreciate the stories behind the artwork.

New monkey species identified in Lomami National Park, Democratic Republic of Congo

First photographed in 2008, this small colobus monkey with pink-orange lips has now been officially described by an international team of researchers – and may be immediately classified as 'endangered.'

Finished this acrylic painting last week of a scene I saw several years ago, of a turkey vulture soaring through a summer sky. Called "Summer Flight", I wanted to capture the joy I feel when I see these birds soar. #Birds!🦉🪶 #wildlife #nature #SciArt #painting

Basil and I are celebrating the day!

Andrew Wyeth was born on this day in 1917. This is one of his paintings, "The Stone Fence". He's always been a favorite of mine & I find his work sublime. #Art #AndrewWyeth #painting #eggtempera

This group of #LastFourWatched for #letterboxdFriday is all about dreams. Tucker dreams of making a better car, Mrs. Harris dreams of a Dior dress, the family in Knives Out dream of their father's money & The Nice Guys dream of solving a big case. #FilmSky #movies #mysteries #ambitions

For #letterboxdFriday & #LastFourWatched, they're all about relationships, both romantic & friendship. Book Club sequel was even funnier than the original, Houseboat had good chemistry, but bratty kids. Walk in Woods & WH were true to the spirit of the books. WH was very dark. #FilmSky #movies

This is beautiful. The colors are amazing. Fairy wrens are such pretty little birds & this painting shows what an absolute jewel they are.

A video from our founder @davidsandum.bsky.social from the hanging of the show yesterday at Seelab in The Hague. The cards on the wall are now straightened and finished, ready for the opening tomorrow 😊 Thanks to all of our artists!

As always, a masterpiece from Natee. This is just terrific!

I never know what to do with frills. Precisely because they're such obvious 'billboards'.

Almost missed #WorldTurtleDay! This is my acrylic painting of a sawback map turtle, which is very endangered, since it lives in a small area of the Mississippi River & is threatened by business interests. #reptiles #SciArt #wildlife #nature #turtlues #rivers

It's Glen Loates' birthday! His work had an enormous impact on me when I discovered him in my early teens & has continued to be a touchpoint through my life. This is a painting of bluejays, my favorite bird. #Artists #wildlife #Birds!🦉 #nature
