        This was an experiment (and a lot of fun); I posted a large painting of a dogbane beetle a few months ago, and thought it would be fun to do him ‘life-sized’. This is two by three inches on UArt 400; Mount Visions and Mount Vision Iridescents, but mostly a variety of pencils. The close-up photos make him look a bit sloppy, but he’s kind of cute in real life. I’m enclosing the painting, the painting with a ruler for perspective and copy of the original painting. Let me know what you think. Thanks for looking. Neal

                Very nice, Neal. You captured that metallic reflection. I like the proportion of red used. Fun one!

                        The little one must have been difficult to do but you pull it off nicely. The original painting is awesome!

                            Nicely done, Neal. I love the iridescent colors in these tiny creatures. Nature is so fascinating!

                            You captured the metallic look of the beetle very well.
