Hercules Beetle

This is the latest in my bug series. It is a giant hercules beetle, done as a commission. The beetle really was huge, and a lot of fun to paint.

Cicada

Since we have been in the middle of the Brood XIV Cicada emergence, I have found the little critters fascinating. I of course had to paint one for my bug series. I won't see them again for 17 more years. Thankfully, I have thousands of models to choose from.

Clingman Cafe Show

I currently have work hanging at the Clingman Cafe in the River Arts District. The cafe is a wonderful venue to showcase work, and my paintings really liven the joint up! The show will be up through the end of March, so stop by and check out my newest painting in pastel, 'Widow Creek Falls', while having a steaming hot latte.

Luna Moth

A new bug painting, this one is a beautiful luna moth! With its delicate colors and gorgeous shape, this was a fun one to paint. It is oil on paper with deckled edges. It's small at 7x7 inches, and looks great framed on a dark background. A friend was nice enough to find and save this moth for me.
