Collection: Summer Specimens

Each of these 6 × 6 oil paintings on birch began with my own photographs and sketches. From frogs and toads to turtles, bees, and all sorts of interesting bugs, I’ve been having fun trying to capture the little details and personalities that make each one special.

I’ve always been fascinated by the things we sometimes walk right past without noticing. There’s so much beauty, character, and even a little humor in these tiny creatures!
