Artist:

Bayla Arietta

"Tackling this project today."

"Painting away with this floof."

"Getting into the guts."

"It was so hard to find reference for a marbled murrelet skeleton, so I had to improvise a little with help from #katrinavangrouw 's #theunfeatheredbird book, an articulated #razorbill skeleton at #harvardmuseumofnaturalhistory and a #murrelet skull at @yalepeabodymuseum ."

"Painting with this cutie on my shoulder."

"Goofy and serious. Occasional bird temper-tamtrum not shown."

"More work on this today."
