Trio of Glittering Beetles

 

This would be the very first time I have ever painted beetles or any insects/bug as a subject of focus. The giant eye in the alcohol ink piece kind of prompted me towards making this into an animated piece and the dark and moody vibes of the Green paper gave the perfect ambience for some glittering beetles.

 

This is an original mixed media painting on light mauve colored handmade paper, with gouache, embroidery threads and beads . The size of the painting is approximately 5" x 7" and is mounted in a float frame. The overall size of the frame is approximately 6"x 8". It comes varnished with 2 coats of Krylon Kamar spray varnish to ensure protection from sunlight over time. 

 

The frame is handmade in my home studio from pinewood and has a double coat of espresso water based varnish. It comes in two parts that are attached with screws on the back. If ever need be, the painting can be detached from the outer frame by removing the said screws. 

Artist's signature with the date on the side and back of the frame.
