Here's a satellite (probably) flying through the frame as I was looking at Jupiter. #satellite #Jupiter #video

I recorded some geese flying in front of the moon last night. Unfortunately, due to my slow reaction time, I only managed to get a small portion of them. #geese #moon #photography

I found these rocks with embedded fossils on a hike the other day. They were at the top of a roughly 810 ft hill in Missouri. My favorites are the possible crocodile (or perhaps even dinosaur) tooth and whatever that is in the last photo.

A white tailed deer digging through snow to find food.

Low angle view of a dove flying through the windowed opening set above the entrance to the ruins of an abbey. Moss and wildflowers grow along the rough wall of uneven stone. The top of an archway—cropped in the immediate foreground as if providing a view directly over the viewers head—catches the golden light of sunset. A weathered copper heart hangs from a chain over the archway. A crescent sliver of moon shines in the lavender and blue sky above it all.

The stonework was based on ruins we saw in Wales, near a place called Three Cliffs on the Gower Peninsula. We had spent most of the day walking on the gorgeous beach there and looking for fossils in the rocks nearby. 1/4

Two fan-topped alien trees emerge from a mound of soil with trunks curving gently toward each other. In the distance, rendered with atmospheric haze, a pair of trees each separate mid trunk to float in the air as if they are releasing from the planet. There are no obvious greens, just earth brown against blue sky that yellows slightly at the horizon.

Week 34(!) from the first Leftovers & Palette Gremlins gallery back in 2016. I set out to share a painting a week, and it ending up being mostly new work except for a couple older pieces. 1/3

It's for a show next month, but no one looks at my bluesky so it's okay to post here🩷

Set in profile against a busy starscape, a regal woman exhales a frosty breath that starts as a delicate spiral before dissolving overhead. Her skin is pale and her wardrobe decidedly wintry, mostly white with pearlescent accents. She wears an ornate headdress, detailed in ornamentation, all swirls and flourishes. Her gown made of feathers and snowflakes opens high on the chest to expose more pale skin but she seems unaffected by the chill of winter.

Saying goodbye to my favorite season 🍂 There are still a few desperate leaves clinging to the trees here, but less of them every day.
