Jewelled Water Beetle & Water Irises - Bugs & Blooms Collection

Jewelled Water Beetle & Water Irises
4"x4"x1"
Acrylics on wood

The forth miniature painting inspired by life around my pond.

Available for purchase in my Etsy shop .

Painting of a water beetle encrusted with a big yellow citrine, amethysts, emeralds, carnelian baguettes, ruby eyes and white diamonds. Surrounded by deep purple Japanese water irises, it’s ready to dive into the water with its diamond pray.

This mini painting measures 4" x 4" x 1" (10cm x 10 cm x 2.5 cm) and is painted on wood, using artist grade acrylics. Two coats of varnish protects the face and the four sides.

Every winter, I retreat into my studio to escape the cold reality, into a world where the weather is always perfect, the flowers are always in bloom and there are priceless sparkly jewellery all over the garden. For a while I forget about the dreadful weather. I take great pleasure researching antique brooches and/or designing new pieces for this purpose. These pieces might be small, but they are very labour intensive.

These little paintings are jewellery for the home and like insects, they can multiply fast. These miniatures look best in a group so start collecting them or request a custom piece.

 

Thank you for visiting
