Bumblebee Bat or KItty's Hognosed Bat Watercolor
from $15.00
Watercolor Painting of Bumblebee Bat or Kitty's Hog-nosed Bat. One of the smallest mammals in the world!
Bats are a favorite of mine since they serve such an important role in nature, and the Bumblebee Bat is especially a favorite since they are so small. This smol boy, often is confused with bumblebees in flight since they are so small.
Original painting is framed 6 x 6.
From the Bugs Under Glass series 2020 (even though it's not a bug)
How the series was born: 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, and MOST framed insects in the market today die of old age…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.
