Painted Bat Kerivoula picta Watercolor
from $20.00
New for 2021, New Creatures Great and Smol Series 2021
This is the Painted Bat, a fun orange and black bat native to Thailand. I decided to paint this bat since I've seen lots of taxidermy specimens and wanted to help provide a death-free version.
Watercolor painting of specimen, signed prints available in limited supply.
Original 11x14 framed.
Bugs-Under-Glass Series
I had planned on buying a leaf insect, a few random beetles, spiders, and assorted bugs. I just had to wait until the next paycheck to buy the leaf insect. While those two weeks passed I would see the mounted insects on the wall and “squeee” with delight. But then, I started to think about this little creature was in fact a living thing that someone had to kill to mount for me. Granted the life of an insect is not one for the history books, generally…but alas…I started getting the “guilties”.
So I came up with the “brilliant” idea of painting my own little insects. This way it would save a life, and I could enjoy specimens without guilt. Thus, my Bugs-Under-Glass Series began (now I've evolved into mammals and other vertebrates).
