Red maples are starting to pop, down in this of the woods.

It's salamander season again.

Golden-crowned kinglets huddle together in groups for warmth. How cute is that?

Sketches for Christmas critter patterns.

Happy Solstice! Here's a caravan of stoats in their winter finery, for the occasion.

In Washington County, nothing says winter's almost here, more than a flock snow buntings over red blueberry fields. 'Twas the inspiration for this third Maine animals-in-winter-themed seamless pattern design. Planning sets of holiday cards for next year.

A late summer boat ride, after the puffins and terns had left, was the inspiration for my second wintery seamless illustration, featuring Maine animals. Far fewer species in the off season, but we've got some good ones. Harbor seals and herring gulls are pretty reliable, and always adorable.

Started some Maine animal, holiday-themed seamless designs a little late in the game this year. Chickadees and Winterberry is the first of a few, and will be available on fabric, as cards and more for Christmas, 2024.

The newest Nature Smarts Workbook: All about Water (Ages 4-6), won't be out until May, but there's three others that are available now. As well as some other books from Storey Publishing that feature my illustrations. Here's some links...
