This abstract oil painting features a cicada perched atop a flower. I wanted to create a piece with bold and bright colors that bring it to life. The cicada holds special significance for everyone, as this year marked the rare double brood emergence in the summer of 2024. I painted in a messy style, with drippy paint in the background to represent the blurred effect of the surrounding trees. Through dynamic strokes and vibrant hues, I aimed to capture the unique energy and essence of this rare event, celebrating nature's extraordinary moments in an expressive, vivid style.
