#20 – Art & Tunes

3/30/18, Megtography #20 – Art & Tunes – I enjoy putting on some headphones, listening to my favorite songs and drawing some pictures. Good way to spend the day. Working on my next totem animal!

For: Sudan and Northern White Rhinos

My newest totem animal piece is in honor of Sudan, the last male northern white rhinoceros. You may have heard that he died a few days ago from a leg infection and age related problems. There are only two northern white rhinos left, both older females. The western black rhino was declared extinct in 2013…

Zentangle Compilation

The Meaning of Mistletoe

Smooch! That’s what you get when you stand underneath the mistletoe. It is much more than a shot at a free kiss though. In fact, it is a parasite, attaching itself to trees (commonly oak) and taking it’s needed nutrients from it’s host. Birds have a strong relationship with mistletoe as well. They build their…
