SAP GREEN

Viviva's Sap Green lives in the neighborhood with Green Gold, Olive Green and some of the earth tones in my estimation. A versatile warm and earthy green, this would fill many buckets if you needed one green and were in the field. True to the Viviva form of delivering intense saturated color, I was able to use very little else and still indicate the spectrum of greens this little bug was adorned with. I suspect this guy is some sort of a stink bug, although he did not match any of the dozens of images a general Google search netted. I found dozens rampantly devouring my lilacs. When I brought freshly cut blossoms into the sink to wash them off they beetles scattered all over the kitchen. Lesson learned, I now do the rinsing in the garage sink.

SOUL

“I am a contemplative artist who has trouble accessing verbal skills. Finding the right words to talk about the amazing things I observe around me can be frustrating. It is much more natural for me to pick up a paintbrush, some embroidery floss or my camera when I wish to share some new discovery. The artwork I create is meant to be enjoyed on whatever level the viewer experiences it and not layered with complex meaning. Feathers, fur, flowers and the incredible variation I find in wildlife not only inspire me, but compel me to share every nuance with you.
