Penguinli has returned and is getting ready for winter (Christmas 😱) It may only be August but I've already started making decorations to make sure I have plenty in stock. Plus sometimes you just need to make something super cute. #penguin

More froggy cuteness for you to help with Monday morning. I do love watching them exploring the pond and plants. #frog

One of this year's little frogs being extra adorably cute in the pond yesterday. #frog #gardenwildlife

Making good progress with my Bornean pygmy elephant drawing. Really loving the new challenge and seeing this one coming together. #elephants #wildlifeartist #SciArt

I know it's not Friday, but let me share my beautiful garden friend, the frog, keeping cool and wet in the pond. #frog ##gardenwildlife

Calling my practice frog painting complete. The São Tomé giant reed frog (Hyperolius thomensis) an endangered species of treefrog endemic to São Tomé Island. Acrylic paints on a smooth canvas board. #frog

Doing a bit of clearing in the garden earlier so I can get to the pond and birds baths to keep them topped up in the heat next week and came across this. Any ideas on the species? Not in my mini field guide to insects. @georgemcgavin.bsky.social

Making progress on my practice frog painting ahead of @globalbirdfair.bsky.social It's been around 25 years since I've painted, but it's coming back and so much fun. #frog #wildlifeartist

How gorgeous are the colours on this common spotted orchid. #wildflowers #orchids

I'm starting to see an explosion of invertebrate life in the garden now. Which included this large red damselfly over the weekend. #gardenwildlife

My red ruffed lemur drawing is coming along nicely. Coloured pencils on black paper #lemur #wildlifeartist

A lovely sunset last night with an added peahen! I normally see her wandering around on the ground but last night she was on the garage roof at the end of the garden. This is a real photo, not photoshopped or AI, we really do have a peahen here in Frome! #birds

Hare looking longingly at the strawberry waiting for it to grow and ripen.

Making time to get back to drawing in all the chaos of prepping for events. I've already totally fallen in love with this one. Red ruffed lemur, coloured pencils on black paper #lemur #wildlifeartist

Here she is, my finished golden eagle wool painting, still needs to be fully pressed and framed but I had to wait to finish her for the sizing. Once framed, she will be on display and for sale on my stand in the Puffin Marquee at Global Birdfair. #birds #sciart ##goldeneagle

It's Friday which can mean only one thing..... Frog Friday 🐸 Meet one of the residents of my pond that popped up yesterday. #frogfriday #gardenwildlife
