There are fossils of dragonflys with a wingspan of almost 2 1/2 feet. They are carnivores so that size is concerning! Now, dragonflies consume mosquito larvae, small fish and tadpoles in the aquatic nymph stage and later, as adults, they devour countless insects. Another very common name for them is “mosquito hawk” and we are grateful! When you’re done admiring the stunning dragonfly this piece becomes a treasure hunt. A dozen creatures are hidden in the pencil work in the bottom circle. Water is necessary to life and all these creatures have been drawn to waters edge. Some are easy to find and others very small and difficult. It’s an entertaining exercise in paying close attention and both adults and kids enjoy the test.

It’s a beautiful moth and especially striking because of its size having a wingspan as large as six inches. Hickory, walnut and sumac are favorite foods in the caterpillar stage but silk moths don’t have a mouth in the adult stage. They live briefly from the fat stored in their bodies and are only concerned with reproduction. The caterpillar is a scary sight! Called a hickory horned devil reaching 5-6 inches long and nearly as plump as a hot dog. You’ll need to look that guy up to see a photo.

Its wing span can reach almost 7 inches and has many subspecies ranging from southern Canada into South America. The caterpillar feeds on a variety of plants including sassafras and the energy it stores as a caterpillar completely sustains the moth in that short life stage. The moth is nocturnal but especially drawn to lights which is causing a concerning decline in the population.

Give them a little time and they will work it out. Green-winged teal are north America’s smallest dabbling duck inhabiting shallow wetlands like this setting. I had taxidermied birds to work from and my husband, David Curles, waded out into the lake to photograph this tangle of water iris for me. While he was out there it began to rain and that gave me a wonderful texture in the water. I really like doing tangles and this pencil work was certainly a challenge!

Males are very protective of their nesting mate and their young. More than that, they maintain extended families and grandparents help raise the young. Their population was in trouble back in the 1980’s but they have recovered and are now plentiful. This piece took all the painting time I had for an entire year. The original is large - 21” x 34”. The birds are in gouache and the rest in black and a bit of green colored pencil. I knew how I wanted the main roots to flow and searched river banks for a reference but couldn’t find what I wanted. As a result, this is all out of my head. You’ll find ferns, oak leaves, may apples and poison ivy tucked into the pencil work. Again, I love doing tangles!

It was once common in the southern forests but depends on mature long-leafed pines for nesting. Those forests were harvested affecting the woodpecker’s population. The long-leafed pine is susceptible to red heart fungus giving the tree a soft center inside a hard outer shell. Perfect for excavating a nest cavity. The bird also has a unique way of protecting its nest. It’s the only woodpecker that carves its nest from a live pine and it drills holes around the opening. Resin seeps from those holes creating a sticky barrier that repels climbing predators. Clever!

With its striking black-and-white plumage and distinctive ivory-colored bill, it earned the nickname “The Lord God Bird,” a name whispered in awe by those fortunate enough to glimpse it. Historically, it inhabited the vast bottomland swamps and old-growth hardwood forests of the southeastern United States, where towering cypress and ancient trees provided both food and nesting sites. As logging reshaped those wild landscapes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the bird’s habitat disappeared, and so did confirmed sightings. Today, the ivory-billed woodpecker exists in a space between memory and mystery. Reports and fleeting encounters continue to surface, yet none have been supported by clear, indisputable photographic evidence. Whether it survives in some remote stretch of southern swamp or has quietly slipped into extinction remains one of the greatest and most poignant questions in the bird world — a symbol of both hope and loss in America’s natural history. You can google it for more information. The search for a surviving population continues and a “maybe sighting” was in Arkansas not ago.

They prefer open country, coastlines and mountains but have adapted to cities and now nest on skyscrapers. I live in the woods but had one at the small pond in my backyard.

I think they specialize in wolfs now. I was really intrigued by the way the feathers layer along the wings and down the owl’s back. Beautiful soft feathers but each very distinct. An owl’s feathers don’t have hard edges. The edges are fringed and that difference gives them a silent flight. The barn owl has a heart shaped white disk for a face and that shape traps and funnels sound. Their hearing is exceptional! They can hear a mouse’s heartbeat in a thirty square foot room.

The great horned owl is North America’s most common owl and they have amazing night vision. This owl is a visual hunter. The “horns” aren’t horns at all but tufts of feathers and they have nothing to do with the owl’s ears but the tufts are a good indicator of the owls mood. Like dogs, the owl can flatten them if he feels threatened. Happy and those tuft stand up and become the horns he’s named for.

When soaring they travel at about 40 mph and in a dive they can reach 120 mph. This big hawk is can weigh as much as 3.5 lbs with a wingspan of 57 inches. They mate for life taking a new mate only if the original mate dies. They are easily trained hunters and often used for falconry. They are also long-lived and disease resistant so a falconer can have a trained bird for many years. The hawk won’t bring the prey back to the falconer though. The falconer has to find the hawk and trade a bit of meat for the prey. A fun fact, red-tailed hawks have a two or three second, hoarse, rasping scream similar to a steam whistle. Hollywood frequently substitutes a red-tail’s call for an eagle because the eagle’s call isn’t nearly as impressive.

The bird’s vivid blue feathers and warm rust-colored breast stand out against the soft cream background. They summer and nest along the edge of my woods and seeing that vivid flash of blue always feels like a special gift! Endangered in the 1980s, eastern bluebirds have made a strong comeback thanks to birdhouses and conservation efforts. They prefer insects and berries, often ignoring feeders unless mealworms are offered. This scene feels hopeful — the promise of a tasty fruit, vibrant life, and nature unfolding in it’s time.

When I was a youngster in Kansas City I found a just-fledged jay in the yard, picked it up and marveled at the fragile life in my hands. That’s one of the memories that I believe led me to focus on birds. Blue jays often act as sentinels for birds and small creatures. They loudly warn of predators in the neighborhood causing the small birds to flee bird feeders and little critters to dive for their holes. They can even be aggressive towards those predators driving them away. Jays are part of the very smart corvid family which includes the crows, ravens and mockingbirds.

It’s good they have a beautiful song, described as “teakettle-teakettle”. They are very bold, quick, curious and often establish nests in flower pots, work boots and outdoor grills. That would be a problem if they weren't so charming. Wrens are always around my house and often slip inside causing dog chaos till the bird finds his way back out. They are monogamous, don’t migrate and have a huge year-round range east of the Rockies.

I really like the strong and happy color of this one! Thistle seed is a favorite food for goldfinch but not a favorite for farmers and gardeners. Nyjer seed is a similar size and birders use that in feeders instead. Goldfinch frequently come in large groups and are quite possessive about controlling the food supply. They will stay and stay at a feeder driving others away and chowing down. That bright and beautiful color is a welcome sign of spring!

They like open country and will watch from a perch swooping out to catch an insect mid-air and returning to the perch to eat it. Courtship displays are spectacular with sharp dives, assents and even backward sumersaults.

Lovely spring dogwood, a nest box plan, a menu of insects and berries and a youngster begging for a meal…. This is like a page from a fancy bird book! Back in the 1980’s bluebirds were in trouble and people got serious about building nest boxes for them. That effort has brought the population back to strong and healthy.

Perching and hovering they took center stage amid the redbud, seeds and spiders and even a nest full of eggs. They are lively little birds with an amazing memory. They stash seeds in tree bark all summer and when winter’s scarcity arrives they remember precisely where they stored thousands of seeds. Their brains actually grow 30% in size to accomplish this and then reduce back come spring. They are also brave little guys and will come within just a couple of feet of you to get a seed or just because they’re curious. They are definitely a favorite of mine!

Never still for long - or quiet! - Carolina wrens are always welcome visitors. Carolina jasmine is an evergreen blooming in late winter/early spring. It is a climbing vine but will also server as a ground cover. It’s deer resistant - I suppose because it’s toxic to both humans and livestock. The wren isn’t bothered by that and is enjoying the temporary perch.

Their expression says the world is brand new to them and they feel bold and ready! The birds and flowers are done in gouache - opaque watercolor and I use a cream colored paper instead of white. That cream paper gives me a color difference, important for my white paint. You can see that contrast in both the birds and the flowers. I think the cream also recedes and gives a softer, gentler look to my pieces. White can seem harsh and even disturbing.

This is early spring when the tiny and delicate “whirlies” of the red maple mature. At this early stage they are a delicate pink with the seeds within still green. Officially called a samara, to kids they are whirlies and fun to toss and watch spiral down.

The male’s vivid crimson feathers glow with warmth, while the female’s softer olive and rose tones offer a gentle, complementary presence. Their posture suggests a private exchange—an intimate conversation shared in stillness. Creamy white dogwood blossoms wind gracefully through the scene, each petal shaped carefully by soft layers of gouache. Tucked among the blooms, small ladybugs invite discovery, adding a subtle touch of life and surprise for the attentive viewer. Set against a light, open background, the piece feels calm and reflective. The scene is a quiet celebration of companionship and reminder of everyday love.

Two mockingbirds move through the tangle—one perched with a berry in his beak, the other mid-flight—while a grasshopper, garden spider, and ladybugs secretly share the scene. The mockingbird perched in the brambles has indulged in so many berries that purple juice stains his chest giving the piece it’s title..

They summer in the eastern and southern U.S and are long distance migrants wintering in central and northern South America.
