THE FIGEATER

I found this Figeater Beetle in my yard last week. It is a large relative of the sacred Scarab beetles of Egypt. The underside is a bright metallic green. "The Figeater", 4"x3", oil on canvas.

Amazing beauty in something so small.

Artist Reply: it's just amazing to me that they're all so different. Thank you Jerie.

WHAT A CREATIVE AND INTERESTING PAINTING, JEANIE!

Artist Reply: Thanx Emily-it shows up a little too dark and slightly blurry, but I do like the original. As always I appreciate your comments. Blessings, Jeanie
