Colorful Critters

"Colorful Critters"
9X20

Back to southwest style painting.  I finished this one today.  It is based on Oaxacan wood carvings.  If you are not familiar with them I would advise you do a Google search of images of Oaxacan Art.  They are very popular here in the southwest.  They incorporate vibrant colors and dots and designs like my own art.  Since I just finished the skull painting I was still in the mood to do something else "creepy".  What better subject than a scorpion, tarantula and gecko?  I have so much fun doing this!  Maybe I should do something soft and pretty next like a flower.  I have to think about it.....
