I wanted to let you all know that I've put two framed original watercolor paintings up for sale on etsy: "Bee and Echinacea" (sold) and "The Cicada" (still available).
These are likely to be the only original paintings I'll have for sale for some time to come, so if you want a BioE original this is your chance. :)

Readers, this week I had to do something I have never done before.
Specifically, I banned someone from BioE. Their comments will no longer appear here, and as the rest of you may notice when you comment, I've turned moderation on to enforce that. Unfortunately, that means everyone's comments will…
A few weeks ago, I was notified that if I wished to continue blogging at Scienceblogs/National Geographic, I'd have to agree to new terms. After considering these terms, as well as the decision to ban pseudonymous blogging, I don't feel that the new management and I are on the same page. I have…
Recently a reader commented that my painting, Fall:The Cicada, is a little, um, insect-y. Yes, I have a propensity to paint insects-lots of 'em. I have a box of dead ones just waiting for the day I get around to painting them, so I thought I'd explain why. About the same time, I was encouraging a…
Oh, that echinacea is gorgeous! ...Sigh...
Wow, those are gorgeous!
The Cicada, I wants it. I hope I get my tax refund before someone else snatches it up.
Do you have any more bees on flowers? Even the background is luscious and mesmerizing, and the detail, color of echinacea and bee are spectacular. If this were an online auction, I'd double the going price! (the detail and transparent wings are great, but...well...a little to bug centric for my decor :) The first one, though....so many pleasant places to get lost..
Thanks, Yenelli! Unfortunately I don't have any more paintings like that - I haven't had time to paint in a while. And yes, the cicada is definitely an acquired taste. :) I enjoy painting insects tremendously - the various textures are such a challenge - and since I paint primarily for meditative/relaxing purposes, I'm not thinking about saleability or decor when I pick my subjects. (In this case, I had a beautiful cicada that I collected from outside my bedroom, and painted it from life, using a microscope, rather than a photo. It was quite challenging - when I have a minute i'll post about the process.)
