Thermals

36"x36"

Apologies again for the poor photo; as I've mentioned, every surface in the collage reflects light differently, and as a non-photographer myself I haven't figured out yet how to account for that.

This piece hung over my head for a long time, probably three months because of grad school and the  ill-conceived clouds.  But I do think it is relatively successful, if not ideal.

Scylla Portrait Study

 10"x8"

Portrait study of my praying mantis, Scylla.

Not entirely satisfied with it, mainly because it was very hard to get a good reference photo.  I plan on doing another one when I can get a good, clear, head-on photo, which is very hard to do with a two-inch-long insect.

(I'm taking a break from "Thermals" right now)

Whoops, I forgot to post the final product.

I don't have a title for it yet, I'll have to think of it.
