this Synthetoceras is my last of 2024. I think i improved a lot when it comes to painting with traditional mediums this year. Still long ways to go. Hoping to dab into more mediums in 2025!

hard to force myself to paint anything else when drawing birds is so relaxing. Here's a blackbird wip I will hopefully abandon in favour of a more productive activity

One of my absolute favorite North American animals to paint, the pronghorn antelope. I’ve always thought they look a bit exotic like they belong on the plains of Africa. “Speed Dating,” oil on linen, 24”x48”. #ArtAdventCalander #pronghorn #wildlifeart #art #oilpainting

This one was a big inspiration for me when I started painting a few years ago. Storms are a staple of classical art but you don't find a lot of people who do tornadoes, and paintings of supercells seem even more rare. I'll put some of these up for Art Advent Calendar starting in a few days

Commissioned illustration—this one was for a historical fiction graphic novel (set in 1894 New Mexico) about a naturalist/expert wolf hunter tasked with killing a legendary wolf named Lobo.

Decided to pitch in on the interpretations of the 3 week-old Homotherium cub. What a phenomenal discovery. I'm very excited to see what other research will be published. #paleoart

Just learned the absolutely insane news that a cub of what is likely a Homotherium latidens was found and just described. Couldnt help but make a quick study of it. Too busy to take it any further now but i’m sure i’ll return to it as soon as I’m able

Perhaps my favorite photo I've ever taken of a storm. Nothing beats structure and clean bolts under the stars.
