Insect paintings for sale



Original acrylic painting by Marion Yeo.

Dragonfly broad bodied darter painting
 

The painting is on a 16x12" stretched canvas and painted round the sides so it can be hung without a frame, or framed as you wish.

(Please note that paintings will take slightly longer to dispatch during school half term holidays as I normally go away for a week.)


I find insects fascinating, partly because they are small and easily overlooked, but when you look closely at them they have lots of beautiful details.  The broad bodied chaser dragonfly is unusual with its wide body when most dragonflies have narrow bodies.  This one is a female.  The males have blue bodies.  I find its looks striking and wanted to make its golden yellow body stand out by painting it against a purple background.
