Happy Full Snow Moon, or Full Bear Moon, or Full Black Bear Moon 🌕

I actually finished one of my full moon illustrations in time for the moon it's describing! This will probably be the only one all year! 😂

Watercolor, gouache and colored pencil on paper, Jan 2026.

HAP is thrilled to announce an upcoming collaboration with artist Alison Lee Chapman on new "Love Your Wild Neighbor" murals coming to the Roxborough neighborhood of Philadelphia in 2026.

This vibrant public artwork will celebrate coexistence with urban wildlife and the beauty of the wild neighbors who share our city. Alison’s bold, nature-inspired illustrations bring this vision to life in a way that invites curiosity, care, and connection.

👀 This is just a sneak peek—stay tuned as we share more about the process, the partners, and the story behind the murals.

"Finding the Way In", Gouache on paper, 2020.

Over the years, I've gone back to find those secret little paths in the woods and through the fields, the ones we traversed daily as kids; they're overgrown, they look different, or possibly, they look the way they always did, I just can't figure out how we ever found our way in. But I remember it being so simple; the entrances were obvious to me then. Maybe I'm too big now. Still, whenever I have those little moments in the right places, I can't help myself but to try to find my way back in.

A new small original is up in my shop (pictured) along with 2 other older prints that, once they're gone, they're gone from my shop forever!

Limited run of prints of the wood thrush coming soon 💛

Have you ever heard the song of a Wood Thrush? It's beautiful. It's a call that threads itself through the trees, from deep in the brush, sounding like a woodwind. Usually heard but not seen (I've definitely only heard them) this bird has always been mysterious to me, like a spirit of the forest. 🌿 I just listed this original in my Etsy shop, link in bio. I really loved working on it. . Do you have a favorite bird song? I love looking them up and learning them. Also, if you have an interest in learning bird species, follow @alexxisrael -- their account is so informative and the photos are great! . #woodthrush #birdwatching #birding #birdpainting #birdart #forest #songbird #watercolorbird #watercolor #watercolorartist #watercolorpainting #natureinspired #illustration #alisonleechapman
