As I am gathering artworks together for my Marin Open Studio, the first two weekends in May, a nature theme is coming together: Bugs, birds and flowers. The Bug Art is highlighted in this post, to be
followed by birds and flowers in subsequent blog posts. There are also some interesting people portrait collages to come.
I love painting Insects. They come in all sizes and colors so make
great models. They are also essential to
make the natural world function.
Here is a preview of some of my insect art which will be on display in May.
