Happy happy #snowy #MenagerieMonday y'all! 😸😸😸 #FunFact - The Pallas Cat may appear big, but it is mostly the fluff of its insulated coat. 😹😹😹 #PallasCat #Snow #Cat #Winter #Catstagram #CatsOfInstagram #Pallas #PallasCats #Cats #menagerie #menagerie2 #menagerieII #animalart #art #digitalart #painting #digitalpainting #illustration #digitalillustration #animalportraits #nature #animals #artistoninstagram #artistofinstagram #painter #digitalpainter #belated #caturday https://www.instagram.com/p/BtMVMZIBJmb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lmcgrr5cczns

Happy #SuperbOwlSunday y'all! "Who" are you rooting for? Personally, given this most holy of holidays, I will be posting my #MenagerieMonday post a day early and cheering on the Barred Owl! 💖🐥🌌 Prepare for #FunFacts (and some not so fun ones...) 😀😆😱 The Cornell Lab of Ornithology describes the #BarredOwl call as “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you-all?” 😂😂😂 The gradual migration westward of Barred Owls has caused a Hatfield–McCoy style feud with the Spotted Owls. Of course, like all feuding families, Romeo/Juliet relationships sprout, leading to the hybrid Sparred or Botted Owl breeds. 🐥🌌🐥 Barred Owls are also called Hoot Owls. 🌌🐥🌌 #HootOwl #BarredOwls #Owl #SuperbOwl #Menagerie #menagerie2 #menagerieII #animalart #art #digitalart #painting #digitalpainting #illustration #digitalillustration #animalportraits #nature #animals #artistoninstagram #artistofinstagram #painter #digitalpainter https://www.instagram.com/p/BtbdF_kFpSx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1498otnms4fez

#holsteins #cows #menageriemonday . 🐄🐄🐄 Oh my goodness! Back to the real world, I guess. To everyone who stopped by my table at #convergence2018 - thank you! Whether you purchased anything or not, whether we spoke for one minute, ten minutes, or not at all, you all helped make this past weekend an incredible and unforgettable experience that I am already eager to return to in 2019. I am lacking words for how awestruck I am at the moment, and will definitely need a few days to decompress and actually process the entirety of it all. So until then, let's talk about animals? 🐮🐮🐮 #funfact - Holstein cows are known as the world's highest-production dairy animal. 🍼🍦🍕 While working on Menagerie II, I often made the decision to include two of the target animal in a piece. There were a few reasons why this was the case: making an interesting composition, showing some sort of interaction between subjects, showing a familial relationship. This one represents the latter. Between seeing cows in the pasture when visiting the grandparents and my cousin's collection of Holstein -themed memorabilia, there has always been a tangential connection between these bovines and family in my mind. 😊 🐄👪🐄 That's all for tonight. I'm absolutely exhausted from #cvg2018 and just about ready to crash. But tomorrow, a return to the computer! Hope y'all had a great weekend, and share any #cow #stories you may have down in the comments! I would love to read them! 😸💻🎨 #holstein #holsteincalf #holsteincow #art #digital #art #digitalartist #bovine #bovines #artistsoninstagram #calf #digitalpainting #painting #menagerie2 #menagerie #parent #child #family #animalart

Only a few days before this #redpanda and friends are released on the world! 🐼🐆🐊 Seriously, it feels surreal that Menagerie II opens at the end of this week. I mean, I still remember the first show as if it were yesterday. Thank you @rourkemuseum and @redriverzoo for making this a reality! And a big shout out to my family who gathered around the dinner table and aided me in packaging 400 prints in advance of the show. Y'all made this artists load and heart a little lighter today. Thank you! 🙌💜🙌 Sunday, July 1, 2018, from 1:30 to 3:30 is the public reception for Menagerie II. If you're free that day, you should come out to the Rourke and see the show. It will be loads of fun! I promise!!! 😸😸😸 . . . #artreception #red #panda #redpandas #redpandalove #menagerie #menagerie2 #menagerieII #animalart #zoo #artgallery #artmuseum #painting #digitalpainting #drawing #digitaldrawing #art #animalartist #redriverzoo #rourkeartmuseum #artshow #animalportraits #nature #animals #menageriemonday (at The Rourke Art Gallery + Museum)
