Green Spider

HERE IT IS :: The final piece in my triptych of green bugs!!  For the new readers, (first off welcome! you are greatly appreciated!), I started these drawing as something unique that would match a specific color scheme and space in my living room.  But I put so much love in them that I spent a lot of time on each one.  They turned out so beautiful and I'm so excited to hang them up!  Now I just need to find frames for them!

This drawing is based off a Huntsman Spider (with slight color changes).  Their name is given from the fact they these spiders do not build webs, but rather hunt and forge for their prey instead.  Generally this includes insects and other invertebrates but they have been known for digesting small lizards and geckos!  I don't think I'd ever want to come across a Huntsman Spider but they sure can be pretty with their lime green coloring!

I hope you have enjoyed this drawing series since I had so much fun working on them.  You can check out the other drawing posts with the links below!  Also, prints of these drawing will soon be available in my Etsy shop, which will be opening soon (keep an eye out for the grand opening post with more exciting details!).  However if you're already in love with one then email me and I'll go ahead and put in your pre-order!

  4. Oh, wow, this is beautiful! And I almost feel silly, because I honestly thought that was a photo in the first pic, then once I realized it wasn't I was truly impressed!

  14. You are such a creative individual... I love your work!

    And you're right, that cat is precious. :) I originally wanted a tuxedo cat, but at the animal shelter it was my little Marcello that needed me the most.
    More than happy to follow you back! :)

  16. Hi, I'm Kara stopping by from the New Bloggers group on 20sb to say hi. Your work is beautiful, I never had the patience for building up color with colored pencils... so I stuck to painting instead. This series will look fantastic framed and hanging on a wall.
