This Cicada is a Double Drummer one of Australia's largest and loudest.
I wanted to paint it so that people would view it from a different perspective and not see it as an annoying little bug.
The Drummers colors and markings are true to form, its wings I've painted with a clear lacquer to give them transparency and a real wing feel.
Using toilet paper and colors of greens and browns I tried to depict the trunk of a tree, this is the usual place one would expect to find a Cicada, especially their shells, which they shed.<br><img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/22/XFTA5429731081151812.jpg'><br>]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sand Goanna]]></title><link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=SXPC54297310811035418</link><description><![CDATA["Sand Goanna" is a brief insight to the skeletal and organ structure of a female goanna.
Her diet consists of Australian insects, whichaty grubs, red belly black snakes, red back spider, worms, clicker bugs, millipedes, honey ants, dragon flies, frogs, bird eggs, snails and slugs.
As she scampers over the land her movement is recorded in the sand. Staining the ground with the blood from the fights of life, battles from the past won and lost.<br><img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/28/CKAA54297310811035418.JPG'><br>]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ochre Turtles]]></title><link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=VCKM542973108115057</link><description><![CDATA["Ochre Turtles", is inspired by the meandering Murray River. With ochre gathered from the lands of South Australia bound with egg whites and gel medium, positioned to present the interior and exterior of the long neck turtle, the background circles represent the movement and ripples of the water, and the separate layers of ochre color depict the bed of the river.<br><img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/27/TIOI542973108115057.jpg'><br>]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bogong moth]]></title><link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=CYCW542973108115307</link><description><![CDATA[Award winning "Bogong Moth" 1st place and People's choice award in Nadoc week art competition Coffs Harbour 2008.
These seasonal moths "Bogong moth" were a great sauce of food to Indigenous Australians. In spring bogongs' migrate from the low lands breeding grounds to the high lands of NSW.
This painting was inspired when I experienced this invasion and saw the beauty they posses.
I was determined to create a painting that showed the beauty of the bogong.
Giving the moth lace like wings and at the same time the patterns are true to the moths form.
It is individual and spiritual, with harmonious tonal colors.
The background represents the waves in which they come in when they migrate, and the metallic paint highlights their existence.<br><img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/27/QJEE542973108115307.jpg'><br>]]></description></item></channel></rss>
