- Happy 83rd Birthday President Biden! Boy, do I miss you as president.❤️ (My drawing from 2020)
- Reposted by Mary Lou FoleyThe first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
- This baby cardinal's parents were nearby watching,he was crying for them, but then took a tentative leap to the next branch, flapping his baby wings...then papa bird arrived and fed him a juicy worm. #birds #birdphotography #nature
- As an artist who sometimes feels I should be doing so much more- From poet Amanda Gorman... "Being an artist is about how and why you touch people’s lives, even if it’s one person. Even if that’s yourself, in the process of art-making.” This self portrait is a charcoal drawing titled, "No Filters"

- Sentinels of the Marsh, pastel, 9x12 #art #painting #landscape #pastelpainting #natureart #artist #trees #fineart
- A little 5x7 graphite drawing of a little sleeping cygnet. I think graphite is my favorite art medium. #birds #birdart #natureart #wildlifeart #blueskybirds #blueskyartists #birdwatching #art
- At the Hands Off protest in Eastham, MA on Cape Cod. About 750 people, lots of honking and thumbs up support from passing cars!
- It only works if we all stand up.
- This is scary as hell if true, but it fits with what we see happening now.
- Follow Jesse. Incredible editorial art.
- This is pastel painting,from my own reference photo. A momma egret on her nest in a tree in the Cypress Wetlands,Port Royal, SC. 8x10, pastel #birds #birdart #paintings #birdenthusiast #natureart #wildlifeart #blueskybirds #blueskyartists #birdlovers #art
- My first attempt at making sourdough bread was a great success! Crisp on the outside and soft and springy on the inside. I used heritage wheat from Sunrise Flour Mill. It was a long and sometimes confusing process, but now having done it, the next one will be easier. #sourdough #breadbaking #baking
- Today's diplay of arrogance and bullying by Trump and Vance was disgusting. I painted this shortly after Russia invaded. His courage and his seemingly fearless resolve inspired the world. I'm still with him! "Zelenskyy" Watercolor 8x8 #Ukraine #art #watercolor #painting #Zelensky #artist
- Happy Heavenly Birthday to John Lewis. Thinking about the man, his courage in the face of injustice, and all he stood for. Boy, we really need to make some Good Trouble, some necessary trouble, before it's too late. Who's with me? John Lewis, Good Trouble, 9x12,charcoal. #JohnLewis #art #drawing

- Let's focus on love today!❤️ #birds #birdart #paintings #birdenthusiast #natureart #wildlifeart #blueskybirds #blueskyartists #birdlovers #birdnerd #birdwatching #art
- My new bird feeder cam. It's been very busy with so many different birds! It records a video any time it sees bird motion. I didn't know that my Bluebirds had returned. Here are Mr & Mrs Bluebird. I love this thing! I have to admit it...I am a Bird Nerd #birds #birdphotography #CapeCod #ornithology
- Northern Flicker. It looks like a painting, but it's a photo I took. Maybe I should make it an actual painting! I love these frequent visits to my suet feeder ❤️ #birds #birdart #nature #woodpecker #NorthernFlicker

- We've had quite a long month of frigid weather here on Cape Cod. This herring gull is braving the cold at the Coast Guard Light overlook in Chatham. #birds #birdphotography #seabirds #CapecCod #naturephotography
- The colors and patterns of the Northern Flicker are simply beautiful. They visit the suet feeder daily along with other downy, hairy and red-bellied woodpeckers. Chickadees too. #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography #backyardbirds
- Words to remember today. "When our days become dreary with low-hovering clouds of despair, and when our nights become darker than a thousand midnights,... Let us realize that the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice.” - Martin Luther King, Jr. #MLK #resist #heroes
- This is a charcoal drawing I did a few years ago. Perfectly illustrates the way I'm feeling now, anticipating the next 4 years. It's titled "Good Grief!" #art #drawing #wildlife #politics #resist #animalart
- Mute swan,graphite. The name “mute” comes from the fact that these swans are not very vocal. But they are very territorial and once they scare off any other birds, they call to each other and flap their wings in celebration - like a swan high-five. #birds #birdart #art #natureart #wildlife #drawing
- "Pretty in Pink" pastel, 10x10. No flamingos here on Cape Cod, except one who showed up in Cape Cod Bay last year, probably lost its way in a hurricane. Got us all very excited. #birds #birdart #art #fineart #nature #wildlife

- I do have to catch up with HGTV...
- Great Blue Heron, pastel, 9x12. This painting was sold to someone who said it was his "spirit bird". His wife had passed away and I think this bird was special to them. I feel so privileged, and grateful, that something I can do can bring comfort to someone. #birds #art #birdart #wildlife #nature
- Ink and colored pencil. I like crows. They don't bother with my seed feeders but will occasionally visit the suet. #birds #crows #art #drawing #inkdrawing
