Part of my Bugs under glass series, even though it's not a bug.
If I ever encountered this brilliant creature in the gulf I would have 100% picked it up. Their very painful sting would be a reminder that the Blue Sea Dragon specimen is not to be picked up! Something so small and beautiful holds a lot of power if mistreated! I hope those who collection fun ocean things can add this to their collection.
Watercolor painting of specimen, signed prints available in limited supply.
Original 8×10 framed.
I had planned on buying a leaf insect, a few random beetles, spiders, and assorted bugs. I just had to wait until the next paycheck to buy the leaf insect. While those two weeks passed I would see the mounted insects on the wall and “squeee” with delight. But then, I started to think about this little creature was in fact a living thing that someone had to kill to mount for me. Granted the life of an insect is not one for the history books, generally…but alas…I started getting the “guilties”.
So I came up with the “brilliant” idea of painting my own little insects. This way it would save a life, and I could enjoy specimens without guilt. Thus, my Bugs-Under-Glass Series began.
Please note:
Print Only option will only include the print, no mat, nor frame.
Mat Only option will include the signed print, mat, backerboard, and plastic sleeve.
Framed option will vary in size, and come signed art original or print, with mat.
