Triptych Watercolor-- JOURNEY









I haven't posted much the last few days----  I'm getting ready for my small INTRUDERS show.

There is a lot of marketing and other responsibilities involved.....

But... I have been working on 5 large watercolors for the show.  They will form a cryptic multiple painting seen above.

Please let me know what you think.


Each panel will be sold separately [or together]... but each will be individually painted and framed.


The concept and title is JOURNEY.   It's a reference to the journey the bug goes through in his life- as well as the journey I've been through in documenting these wonderful creatures of the bug kingdom.

Get a Load of these Intruders!





 

More and more bugs!!  in fact.. the series is almost complete!  I should have it wrapped up tomorrow.

The last 20 has proved to be the most fulfilling and clever.  There was a need to make them the best!


Here is a sample.

I will be working on the children's book next week.  Should be fun.

The show is coming together---  frames, venues, tees, collection.

All in all.. it will be a blast!!

Y'all come!!

Stay tuned for details... unfolding here.

Don't miss it!

Five on the Floor!




Five new insects for your viewing pleasure!


I am getting closer to accomplishing my goal....   100 bugs and then writing a children's book.


I am at bug 72.... and counting.


Here are five new ones!  They are more colorful and compositional than the the others.

I am challenging myself to be the "most" creative with the final 28-- so that the collection really SINGS!


Stay tuned for more-- and stay tuned for news about the exhibition and children's book in the works.

Insect Invasion!




More insects for your viewing pleasure!

Painting small insects 
has proven to be fun and 
entertaining!
It's much more captivating to look at something
so small... and make it
mighty!

Each insect is a jewel to behold.
I can never do justice to such
a wonderful
being!


Enjoy~

Small Intruders- watercolor





A taste of a section of my OPEN STUDIO next Friday, NOV 30.

I am doing a series of SMALL INTRUDERS.  A delightful series of unique portraits of insects.

Each one is jewel like-- with just enough detail to distinquish the species.  They aren't overly accurate-- no rendering for me!  But rather... beautiful simple portaits of bugs that delight and inspire.

They look great one-on-one... or all together!
