#3 beauty in the overlooked-slugs

And itโ€™s finally done, once I started to dream about slugs I had to get it finished. For this it was necessary to use some sea slugs to get the range of colours. But this is the finished painting.

All three together


And the other two

Admittedly, I was very curious how you planned on doing slugs, but sea slugs worked out perfectly. That one looks like a piece of lettuce! It turned out very cool. What are you going to do with these now?

Honestly Iโ€™ve no idea. They will form part of my assessment for my college work this year. Next year is my final year, so they could potentially be hung in the degree show. Mostly Iโ€™m just happy to get them done!

I knew the slugs would be my favorite! The rainbow background somehow makes them less yucky than seeing them on my hostas!

LOVE! At first the yellow one was my favorite, as the Banana slug is my home stateโ€™s State Mollusk. But that little 90-degree red one tickles me!

Another fabulous painting. This whole series is fantastic and I love each one. Though I think the beetles are my favorite. The slugs have so much beautiful detail.

Heโ€™s wild isnโ€™t he? Only to be found on one mountain in Australia. Check out the national geographic article on him below

WOW! That was fun and interesting. And this great quote: I think if you are isolated on a remote mountaintop, you can pretty much be whatever color you like,โ€ Murphy noted.

These are amazing! How cool would it be to have these in the degree show? (Although, seriously, how could they NOT include these???)
