I am pleased to have completed another bug painting. The great golden digger wasp was a new visitor to my yard this year. It is quite big and beautiful, and fully deserves its two adjectives. The eye, which I believe is more or less accurate, has a kind of disney-character look about it.
I love this wasp! (That's NOT a normal thing for me to say! Usually I say things like, "Quick! Smack that wasp!") Your colors are so natural and easy on the eyes, the details are excellent, and the shadows are perfectly balanced. Very well done!
ReplyDeletewow..you captured it perfectly and his eyes are beautiful Barbara.....
ReplyDeletevery nice painting and an important teaching tool. When visiting the Hoh National Park in WA, I learned that wasps are very necessary for our ecology. Made me look at them differently.
