Black dogs are so tricky, I really struggled with the paint drying at different values. But 6 months and 3 start overs later, I've decided to be done with it. 'Tis what 'tis.

#FlockOfArtists One of my first illustrations jobs was for a wetlands interactive discovery center. For this display, you had to match the bird's bill to the type of food it eats. I also painted all the food - frogs, fish, bugs, pond weed, etc. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Another oddity in my studio. Original scientific illustration of corn pests. Chinch Bug, Corn Flea Beetle, Corn Borer, Rootworm, White Grub. Come and get it 😂 https://t.co/5TvFqJsqNi

I don't know much about this pretty little wine-red beetle, other than I believe it lives in Peru. Cyclopeplus peruvianus is 10-14 mm in size, and has quite an impressive set of antennae.
