24x30 oil on canvas. First in a series titled "Big Bugs". I was commissioned to do this piece for a local company in Baltimore, MD. It is a depiction of an Odorous House Ant. Identified by it's thorax.
wow, my bro collect ants in his ant farm, and this is just so talented
Artist Reply: Thank you! I saw a lot of them when I worked as a service rep for a pest control company! It was actually a lot of fun to do but I don't forsee doing any more. Thank you for taking the time to comment on my work!
Artist Reply: :) I had nightmares about that while I was working on this. I might do a termite and a fly for the same company. Thank you for the nice comment
