Another sneak peek at the #vulture #paintings I’m working on. I have a soft spot for Griffon vultures after seeing them soar in the Pyrenees It’s magic to see something so right and as exactly as it should be - beautiful #birds just where they should be after facing near extinction in the 1960s.

cinereous vultures have a ten foot wing span They are also into dead animals But I don’t hold it against them Instead i think it’s pretty cool they are a part of the clean up crew. cinereous vulture #painting #art #acrylic

For #blueskyartshow Big - just a school of fish This painting is 60x60” and part of a series on river fish #arr #fishart

Happy first day of August, and happy first week of #AugustAdventures2026!!! To participate, create artwork inspired by either ONE of BOTH of that week's prompts, post it and tag #AugustAdventures and/or #AugustAdventures2026.

Favorites are hard to choose. Every new painting is my favorite but the paintings that still make me smile are in another category The woodchuck eating apples is one of those #art #artrepostjuly #artchallenge

All parts of an environment are important in or reintroducing animals. We tend to fixate on the animals but they can’t come back if their environment lacks food & plants can’t survive without bugs… success is rebuilding the ecosystem not just animals reproducing. #artrepostjuly #artchallenge #art

When ecosystems recover, wildlife benefits — and so do people, with less downstream flooding, healthier landscapes and improved resilience to climate change. It's time to think bigger and wilder. Let's help the species that help nature recover. 🧵5/5

Visited the Frederic Remington museum on Ogdensburg yesterday. Lots of interesting work and they tell a story of a man who worked hard to be the best and be recognized for it. He achieved some dreams but was taken from this world rather early at 48. #arthistory #fredericremington

Plant - My favorite are the ones that appear when you need it most. Fire flowers appearing a season after a forest fire is one example - embroidery and mixed media on canvas #artrepostjuly #artchallenge #art

“Materialize the spirit of a thing” - Frederic Remington It sounds beautiful but what does that really mean?

“The thing to which I am going to devote two months is color” - Frederick Remington.

Small paintings are a wonderful way to share a tiny burst of joy This painting is about 6” and is of 2 Sandhills cranes flying. #artrepostjuly #artchallenge #art

#ArtRepostJuly Day 21: Blue California Sea Lions aren't usually blue, but I I thought this would be a fun style to try for a Cal Native article.

I love the idea of 9000 trees for every 1 person. I wish that was the case everywhere. How beautiful would the world be

Trish 🇨🇦 Sorry! 🍁@trishly.bsky.social · 3w ago

Here is some Canadian Trivia: 1) For every person in Canada, there are approx 9,000 trees. 2) Canada's boreal zone spans roughly 1.3 billion acres or approx. 55% to 58% of Canada's total landmass. 3) 70% of Canada's boreal forest zone has no road access, remaining as pristine, intact wilderness.

I’d love to have a studio where I could get this messy with paint. So cool and inspiring.
