MANTIS POND - 12" X 24" Acrylic on canvas 9/2009
This is another 'interim' painting, (I will not call it a study) moving towards a larger piece 'UNDERWORLD IV'. This is character development. The cobra lilies are becoming more cobra-like. The caterpillars are evolving. The mantis is a new character, as is the black widow spider. There are many black widows were I live. They amaze me.
I'll probably move into the larger piece now. I've used this same palette and same basic theme in my last 3 or 4 paintings. I plan to continue specializing like this, continue to explore where this world will take me, until I have exhausted the potential of this world. That might very well be never.
If only I could live forever.

This is just so beautiful. the more I look at your gallery the more excited I get! I enjoy the caterpillars in this picture. They looks so magically green with their huge blue eyes.
