I feel hopelessly ignorant when it comes to identifiying bugs and insects. I found this on the windowsill and just liked it's delicate emphemeral nature. They're really quite beautiful things when you study them closely.
This one is just too cool, Paul. Beautiful lines.
ReplyDeleteI think it's one of those big mosquitos that don't bite people....at least around this neck of the earth.
Thanks Chuck! I'm glad it doesn't bite - that's one BIG mosquito..!
ReplyDeleteWow Paul, this actually looks like a big mosquito is stuck in the thick wet paint! Awsome!
ReplyDeleteMy roots are from the South. We called these harmless insects 'fever carriers'. You sure push the paint around in a nice way. Great painting, Paul.
ReplyDeletethis is a fun one...nice effect sitting on the texutred surface...
ReplyDeleteThis is great, I can almost hear the buzzing
ReplyDeleteew...glad we don't grow 'em that big up here in the Northeast U.S. Really shows off your skill, though. Great job.
ReplyDeleteWe got a real buzz out of this one!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done.
ReplyDeleteBiking home from the Dairy as a 10 year old with half a packet of 'hubber-bubber' in my mouth, (chewing and puffing)... i caught one of these in my mouth - whoosh - straight into the gum. Lesson learnt to say the least.
Ooo yug! That would make a good painting!
