Introducing "Moths Rising," my latest artwork where the intricate beauty of nature meets creative expression. This 22x20” piece draws you into a world dominated by colorful moths, their textured wings showcasing dazzling hues of yellow, red, green, and blue. I've crafted each moth with fine detail to highlight their patterns against a rich, earthy backdrop.

The composition is enriched with a textured area reminiscent of a natural surface, complete with hints of greenery adding organic depth. This background not only enhances the moths' colors but also invites exploration of the harmony between these delicate creatures and their surroundings.

What's particularly unique about "Moths Rising" is my use of organic materials directly from nature. I've embedded elements like wings, feathers, ferns, grasses, lichen, moss, and bark into the wet paint. These additions create a tangible connection to the wilderness that inspired the piece, inviting viewers to appreciate it both visually and tactilely.

"Moths Rising" is my celebration of the colorful elegance of moths and the exquisite beauty found in nature's details.
