Pipe ballet

This painting is a continuation of my insects theme with a somewhat humorous slant. I think it looks a little like the beetle is dancing inside a pipe. Having spent countless hours studying the look of various insects, I have uncovered a deep respect for the complexity of their anatomical make-up. I mean they really are like little monsters - and they are all around us. I suppose that this is why I wanted the painting to come across as more playful than threatening... 40cm x 40cm oil on canvas

What a great site, muz. And I get the honor of the first post. Hooray!
Nice, nice work. I especially like this one; I like it better than I did when I first saw it on WC.
Best,

Wow... Good idea. Thanks a lot. I'll get right down to it
the painting reminds me of something out of dark crystal, the movie with an insect been pulled down a drain but scuttling in the oposite direction.like The use of colour esprcially the darker tones.
Spooky colors I like!
