Would you believe this is a vertebrate? A fully grown adult snake?

I'm so excited to have finally seen one: a southern blind snake, Anilios australis.

It's so cuuuuute 🥺

I wasn't going to post this originally, as it is more watercolour than colour pencil at this stage - however, I really liked the leaf shadow that appeared as I was working on it! ...and because I am so busy at my day job, and the pieces I am working on are all private commissions not shareable yet.... I thought I would show something at least, to prove I am still here :)

Absolutely falling in love with watercolour as well...

Grampians Victoria, full story at

[natureandplacestogo]

King-parrots inhabit humid, densely forested uplands in eastern Australia.

This one was spotted on the Elabana Falls walk in Lamington National Park, South East Queensland.

They favor eucalyptus woods near subtropical and temperate rainforests. They feed on insects, berries, and nectar and are often encountered in pairs or family groups. They communicate with melodic calls and form social bonds. In the wild, they can live up to 30 years if well-cared for. Next time you’re in Australia, keep an eye out for these colorful feathered visitors!

A shy beast.

I didn't really understand echidnas until I looked at them properly, in person. They are so charming. And so silly. I'm obsessed with them now.

Final of my watercolour and colour pencil cockatoo. Loved making this cheeky dude. Love the softness in the overall portrait and being able to add details with pencil. Interesting process indeed! Enjoying exploring different mediums so much.
