Lightning bugs or "fireflys"come out to
greet the night. The male illuminates to
attract a mate. It was an fun adventure
in childhood to catch them and put them
in a jar and experience the magic. Mixed
media of pastel on textured paper 12"x18"
what a beautiful pastel painting..this is so lovely!
Artist Reply: Thanks Tyler it is one of my favorites because of the mood. Sometimes that is hard to capture. Fireflys take me back to being a child...and we can all identify with that feeling. I appreciate your wonderful comment
