Happy Mother’s Day!
We had an unusual late April snowstorm this year in Oregon. One of my friends had been watching a hummingbird’s nest in her yard with two babies. Snow covered the area, and tree limbs were crashing around. Judy’s husband put up some foam board to help protect the babies, but of coursel, it was their Momma that these babies…[Read more]

Happy Mother\'s Day! We had an unusual late April snowstorm this year in Oregon. One of my friends had been watching a hummingbird\'s nest in her yard with two babies. Snow covered the area, and tree limbs were crashing around. Judy\'s husband put up some foam board to help protect the babies, but of coursel, it was their Momma that these babies depended on. They survived and are now flying about the garden. My own Mom passed away almost three years ago, but well I remember all the times she came to my rescue, and kept me warm and healthy when the world seemed stormy. Did you know that female hummingbirds spend about a week building their nests, using a spider web base to attach it to a branch, insulating it with soft plants, and camouflaging it with lichens? * Hahnemühle Cold Press The Collection Watercolor Paper * Turner Gouache * Reference photo courtesy of Judith Bevilacqua.

#doodlewashApril2022 prompt: Light.
Did you know that wombats, and many other nocturnal animals and birds are bioluminescent — they glow under UV light?

#doodlewashApril2022 prompt: Light. Did you know that wombats, and many other nocturnal animals and birds are bioluminescent -- they glow under UV light? Scientists accidentally discovered that the platypus was bioluminescent a few years ago. Curious, they began looking for more glowy mammals. Most of the research so far has been done in Australia, as the animals identified show - wombats, tasmanian devils, springhares, Australian opossums, flying foxes, microbats, and echidnas. Many birds have beaks, talons and eyes that glow. More are being added to the list as time goes on. Strangely, some of these animals glow in blues and greens, and some glow in reds, pinks and oranges! * Hahnemühle Cold Press Harmony Watercolor Paper * MaimeriBlue Superior Pan Watercolor

Did you know the Easter Egger chicken is so called because none has the same plumage, and their eggs can blue or green or olive or pink or any shade in between (they’re also called Rainbow Layers)? Some have beards and some have ear tufts and some have no tail. There’s no way to tell hens from roosters based on their looks. What they all have in…[Read more]

Did you know the Easter Egger chicken is so called because none has the same plumage, and their eggs can blue or green or olive or pink or any shade in between (they\'re also called Rainbow Layers)? Some have beards and some have ear tufts and some have no tail. There\'s no way to tell hens from roosters based on their looks. What they all have in common is a gentle, friendly disposition, so while you may not know what you\'re going to end up with from a chick, you know it will be a sweet surprise. * Hahnemühle Hot Press The Collection Watercolor Paper * Zebra Zensations Technical Pen * Da Vinci Watercolor

Did you know the history of the Newfoundland Dog isn’t known for sure, but there are three popular theories, that they descended from: * the \'black \'bear\' dogs brought to Newfoundland by Vikings around 1000 A.D. * the now-extinct American Black Wolf and/or from other native dogs. * the European dogs brought to Newfoundland in the 15th and 16th centuries. I like the Viking theory. A Viking settlement discovered in Newfoundland during the 1950\'s inlcuded skeletons of large dogs. * Hahnemühle 100% Cotton watercolor book * Rósa Gallery Watercolor
