I (heart) Moths!

I HEART moths and I'm feeling the need to go to the Smithsonian Natural History Museum this very moment to take in their amazing collection of moths and other curiosities that are on display.  If you haven't been there, it's a definite must if you are visiting our nation's capital.  It will feed your inner naturalist soul and make you want to run back home as soon as possible to create some kind of nature-inspired art!  Promise.

Lately, I have been taking a break from birdies in my paintings and find myself dabbling into the world of moths.  I think there is something magical about them - and their wings are like painted tapestries.  So delicate and fragile - such a gift whenever I find one flitting about or resting on the trunk of a tree.

Here is my first moth-inspired work:

This particular painting is available as a print at my Etsy shop.  You can click on the Etsy button to the top right of the screen or go to: www.etsy.com/shop/WildHeartHistories

Thanks for stopping by and letting me share my joy with you.
