What's New with Bugs and Textures

Final pieces:

Bottom:  "San Anselmo Street Textures" 13x19" poster printed on Epson Hot Press Natural professional paper (inspired by the way Facebook cropped my latest photo album)

Bugs in a Bottle on a Table

Not sure why I just spent almost all day drawing some new insects (cicada, digger wasp and grasshopper) just to put them in a digital bottle on a table in a fantasy room.  But I did!  The new bugs should also make their appearance in my cold wax and oil paint picture of a "Bottle Waiting for Bugs" once I transfer them into that painting in process.

Cold Wax and Oil Paint Plus Gum Arabic Transfer
