I have been waiting for another interesting insect to die (peacefully) in my vicinity since I painted the Bee. This unassuming yet perfect little specimen spent its last moments on the bedroom windowsill possibly perishing in the heat from the last few days. Yesterday I wanted to paint a ladybird given their recent news coverage, the one I found was docile, but alive. In my excitement I thought I might be able to paint him alive, if he held still long enough..... ah, he flew away. Oil on gesso 16cm x 12cm.
