Slowly, the grenadiers are taking form- it just occurred to me that the final painting will depict the fish pretty close to life size- and I am feeling pleased about it. Abyssal grenadiers, Coryphaenoides armatus, photo taken Dec 2024 in Antarctica,

Which one are you!?!??? I’m a bone eating worm- which is pretty rad- all these paintings are illustrations for my upcoming children’s book. A book all about deep ocean habitats, and the amazing organisms that live there. Written for ages

I really love the small movements in the background of this newest painting, like here; where a grenadier turns to swim away from the camera and is partly obscured by a tail. #deepsea #deepseacreatures #abyssalgrenadier #unusualocean #spokaneartist #

One of the pieces hanging at the @thechasegallery right now is my latest painting- titled “The People Pleaser”, a 30x40” acrylic on canvas. This was a fast paint- 8 days - and the composition uses holothurian mouth parts intersectin

Finished the last painting just in time for my show at the @thechasegallery if you’re in Spokane this month you can check it out on weekdays, or come to the reception on Friday night.

In the meantime- been sooo excited about starting this nex

Coming along on this one, I find the transparent organisms so fascinating to paint #deepsea #deepseacreatures #holothurian #seacucumber #acrylicpainting
