Scarlet Damsels

Description

This was a while in the works, but at the same time, this was both my first painting commission and 2: I have never painted dragonflies before.

Anywho, I took a little artistic license to who the damsel fly and the dragon fly turned out. The initial intent was do something with the life cycle of a dragonfly, but that didn't manifest as I thought it would. The nymphs still made their way into the piece( far left corner).

I may do some more bug paintings..I have mentioned to a few I like to do a small series of pieces dealing with "forensic" bugs.Meaning the insects found at crime scenes, especially those who help establish when someone died and how long they have been dead.
