I love beetles, they're fascinating. <BR/><BR/>The birds are great as well - really interesting approach with the wet painting and letting the colour bleed like that. It works really well and brings out their colours. Nice way of producing an interesting background too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797154529584455799.post-47746179198784991782008-11-27T06:57:00.000-05:002008-11-27T06:57:00.000-05:00They look ready to fly off the page!
