#WeeklySketch My Lanceleaf Coreopsis bloomed today! I rushed outside to go paint it, but I was baking in the sun 🥵 and now it's time to cook dinner, so this is my progress so far. Got each basic part finished so I can self-reference the colors later #BotanicalArt #SciArt #Watercolor #FineArt

Finished painting my coreopsis last night! #BotanicalArt #SciArt #NativePlants #FineArt #Watercolor

It's World Parrot Day! I don't have local wild parrots, but I enjoyed the parrots so much on my Australia trip. #BirdArt #SciArt #FineArt #Watercolor #AnimalArt

Always a treat to actually see a Scarlet Tanager! #BirdArt #SciArt #Watercolor #FineArt #AnimalArt

The latest in my Life List Series, a White-crowned Sparrow! I found one a few weeks ago in a crab apple tree, which surprised me as I was expecting it to be a warbler. So I decided to commemorate that "huh" moment in this painting! #BirdArt #SciArt #Watercolor #FineArt #AnimalArt

Here's the plant! I planted it as a seedling last fall and am so happy it's got so many flower buds

#WeeklySketch My Ohio Spiderwort started blooming this weekend, but I didn't get out fast enough to paint it because it was so hot the petals melted by 11! Today was cooler and I was able to go paint them. #BotanicalArt #SciArt #Watercolor #PleinAir #NativePlants

#WeeklySketch I fell off the wagon on these because I've been so busy. Here's a May Apple from a photo I took last week. With the heat and soon mosquitoes, my plein air days may be over, but I still used my portable set up for this. #BotanicalArt #NativePlants #SciArt #Watercolor

If you're in Minnesota, I hope you can go check out Seasons on the Wing at The Trailhead Gallery of Theodore Wirth Park! 2/2

My exhibit Seasons on the Wing features birds found in MN throughout the year, but I also unintentionally included 2 pieces that show tamarack cones at different times of year! Prints available at annieshaoart.myshopify.com #BirdArt #SciArt #Watercolor #FineArt #BSNM #artprints 1/2
