Dew and Jewels--Watercolor in Progression

in #art8 years ago

Another one of my favorite subjects to paint are bugs. I don't care if I ever sell my bug paintings. I love to paint them and hang them on my walls. Bugs are beautiful!


Rainbow Leaf Beetle (Chrysolina cerealis)


Habitat: Eurasia; In the UK, this endangered beetle is currently known only from Caernarvonshire in Wales; since 1980 it has been recorded from Snowdon and Cwm Idwal. Elsewhere the species is found in northern, central and southern Europe. Status: Classified as Endangered in the UK and protected under Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981. Watercolor on handmade cold press 300lb cotton paper.

It's beautiful! I wish could draw/paint. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, if you could paint, what would your favorite subject be?

I don't know. I haven't thought about it since I don't consider myself artistic. But this bug of yours jumped out at me. I do play the piano and the flute quite well and sing, so I have that way to express myself. And I'm discovering I'm pretty good at at writing blog posts too! I probably wouldn't have ever tried if it weren't for Steemit. Maybe one day I should take art lessons and just see if that ability isn't buried in me somewhere.

Learning new things keeps the brain young and pliable. Looks like you have enough on your plate @canadain-coconut. I want to learn how to play an instrument someday, probably next years winter. I can't sing, I won't even try anymore. I would also like to learn another language, so when I go to Mongolia I can speak a little bit of their language. Right now, this winter, I am learning all about writing a blog, crypto-currency, block chain, and I would like to set up a store that uses steem and or bitcoin. So, maybe someday you will want to learn a new skill like drawing, anyone can learn. Unlike only a few have a lovely singing voice, everyone can learn to draw.

is ud true artist, but that you already know, I really like your work, I'm no expert in puntura but when I like something, congratulations

@jlufer, sometimes something is so beautiful I feel the need to try and catch it through a painting. I will never catch natures true beauty though, it takes my breath away...thank you so much.
