Dragonfly!

Sometimes... painting the simple things in life is much better and more powerful than painting larger themes.

For instance... the simpicity and quietude of a dragonfly.

He's absolutely powerful in his beauty.

I love summer.. and bugs are a part of summer.

Dragonflies, fireflies, bees, beetles, mosquitos, grasshoppers, ants, cicadas     . you name it -- they are all SUMMER!

Big and small...annoying or pleasant...they are my muse!
