This is a photo I took a while back. I had it in my gallery, but took it off when I used it in my "Bzzz" painting.
I have received several requests to add it back to my gallery. So here it is.
Thank you all who have voted for me and thank you for looking!

Really great work.Anonymous Guest 07 Apr 2008
Renata, I love this wasp......is it a photo or a painting, a real tight painting? I killed a wasp one time with some acrylic spray fixative I had in my art studio. This was years and years ago. But it killed the wasp and I picked up the wasp to hold it harmlessly in my left hand while I drew it with my right hand, in colored pencil. The wasp had been dead for about a day when I picked it up to finish my drawing the darned thing came completely back to life in my fingers, I let go and it flew away.....The spray fixative had just put it to sleep or froze its joints up so it couldn't move for a while. And thanks for all the support in my art I'm looking over your portfolio right now.......real nice artwork I say.frank gunter 20 Mar 2008
