Three images from Banshee Reeks Nature Preserve, Leesburg, Virginia, USA. August 2019. #photography #blackandwhite #nature #summersun #hiking #bansheereeks

Those 160 points Dumbledore tosses at Gryffindor at the end of Sorcerer’s Stone are the very height of deus ex bullshittica.

Trio of fox kits from spring of 2022. I believe the term is cutie patootie. Aldie, Virginia, USA #foxes #fox #foxkit #nature #naturephotography #wildlife

if Severance goes full Lindelof and ends up ignoring all of its major plot points, I'm hobbling my TV with a tire iron and tossing it on Ben Stiller's lawn

Gneiss Creek trail to Cougar Cabin, Yellowstone NP, 2019. I've never felt so alone in all my life. I hiked to the top of the hill on the left, ate a protein bar, and sat for an hour. I got so freaked out by the isolation I hiked back to the car. #nature #landscape #B&W #yellowstone #hiking

Immensity, OId Yellowstone Road looking north towards Corwin Springs / Gardiner. Feels odd taking landscape photos with a long lens, but a good way to accentuate scale. #oldyellowstoneroad #yellowstone #landscape #B&W #nature #montana

Sepulchre Mountain, Gardiner, Montana, USA, 2019 This is the NW entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Gardiner is right behind me, Roosevelt Arch 300 yards to my right, and Mammoth is at the end of the left arm of Sepulchre. #yellowstone #landscape #nature #photography #B&W #sepulchremountain

Lone Rock at Glen Canyon Recreational Area in Lake Powell, just north of Page, Arizona. Lone Rock is covered in shadow from a passing cloud. Stunning area on the border between Arizona and Utah off of Route 89. #lonerock #utah #arizona #landscape #b&w #photography #lakepowell

Lone Rock panorama at Glen Canyon Recreational Area in Lake Powell, just north of Page, Arizona. Lone Rock is to the far right of the panorama shot. Stunning area on the border between Arizona and Utah off of Route 89. #panorama #lonerock #utah #arizona #landscape #b&w #photography #lakepowell

Old Yellowstone Road, running northwest out of Gardiner, Montana. I could spend a lifetime photographing this 15 mile stretch. These 4 photos were taken in 2019. #blackandwhite #BW #landscape #yellowstone #gardiner #montana #photography #fujiX100

Underwater, 1993, unfinished oil painting on canvas, 36"x36" #painting #oilpainting #selfportrait #portrait #artschool

Fox kit in the backyard June 2023, Aldie, Virginia, USA Little fox kit watching... something. Extremely low light and lots of gain make the photo blurry and grainy, but there is something about that which works here (IMO). #fox #nature #beautiful #kit

Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA - September 2019 Normally I stay away from the 50/50 split, but the horizon was too clean not too. Looks like two separate pictures spliced together. #grandcanyon #landscape #photography #nature #clouds

Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA - September 2019 A few minutes after sunset. The quality of light kept improving for several minutes after the sun was down. The Desert View Watchtower is just right of frame. #grandcanyon #landscape #vista #arizona #nationalpark #photography

Ginny R. (detail), graphite on bristol board, 2020. If there were two things I'd tell people just starting out in drawing it would be 1) stay loose, and 2) your eraser is just important as your pencil. Build up, break down, build up again. #portrait #graphite #art #drawing

Monkey at a Circus, Pen and ink on arches 300 cold press, 22x30 (56cmx76cm), 1993. Illustration class assignment.

Ginny R, digital sketch (Wacom, Photoshop). 2011. The first thing I drew digitally on the Wacom. #portrait #digitalart #art #sketch

Amanda F, mixed media, arches 300 cold press, ~1992. #portrait #technicalpen #goldleaf #art #mucha

Ginny R. Small sketch, graphite and water color wash. 2012 or so. #graphite #sketch #art #portrait

Amy B, graphite on Arches hot press 140, 2020. Portrait from the FB portrait series. I asked Facebook friends to volunteer for free portraits. Once completed I mailed the drawing to the volunteer. I completed ~10 portraits (out of 80+ volunteers). #portrait #drawing #graphite #art #sketch

Two scoops of flax seed + strawberry yogurt. If you squint your tastebuds you can almost believe it's strawberry shortcake.

Kali, 2020-2022, WIP Line work for a Mucha-esque ‘modern’ Kali. Lots of rework here before I ultimately abandoned the piece. Conceptually I like it and will *most probably* start a new version. Graphite on Bristol board.
