If you're originally from where we are, the pacific northwest, you generally see orchids as flowers that are blooming and pretty when you by them, but then never bloom again. Here in Florida, you can just set them outside, I guess, and they bloom year after year, no maintenance required. Here is a lovely orange and red variety. Next is a green tree frog perched gently on a banana leaf. I was surprised how sluggish he was, because after I snapped the photo, I poked him and he didn't even jump away. Probably poisonous. Then, a purple water lily. Beautiful, but..."

It was lucky that I spotted him, because he was soooo little. I guess a lady lizard crawled in and laid some tiny lizard eggs in our potted plant soil. A few days later, VOILA! Tiny baby lizard. I've placed him here in this glass with a quarter, so you can really see just how tiny he..."

On my visit home this May, I got to hang out at the studio a bit and the walls are lacking a certain... quantity of wall-art. My homeboy said they had been looking for someone with my painting "skills" (If you can really call them skills, I need art school badly. I'd call it "potential") So I offered to snap some photos and paint him something to hang on the wall. I wanted to try to use my acrylics in a different way this time, and a little birdy told me I can use acrylics like watercolors, so I thought, let's give it a..."

These are some images I designed to print on shirts and sell. I've always seen generic "I love my (Insert Favorite Bird Breed Here)" T-shirts, so I thought I would elaborate on bird personalities to give parrot fanciers a little more variety.(Shameless plug ensues) You can see the rest of my designs and order shirts and tote bags..."

I always see a lot of beautiful flowers and birds when I go, so I brought my handy digi-cam this time. The main pictures are of a purple passion flower plant I walk by every time. It's a huge viney creeping type plant growing over someone's fence. It's a weird-looking but very pretty flower. Apparently tasty to bees..."

The error was initially a typo, then I thought of a song to go with it.)

I had painted three same-sized canvases with a bunch of washes to try and make a good background for some other things, most likely birds, because I usually paint birds. Eventually, all three didn't look the same and I had to scrap the whole series idea. My mom likes orchids, so I thought I might try painting something for her. The end result is this... I'm not sure if I like it yet, but meh. It took me around 5 days or so to complete it, about 10 or more layers of paint: For your viewing..."
