Acrylic on Canvas - 40” x 30”

Take a closer look! Cicadas have an exquisite patterning on their backs, each one unique. I find the way they live, look, and sound enchanting. This piece of art celebrates the amazing Diceroprocta vitripennis.

This nature-inspired acrylic painting features a background of soft blue and beige with a painted-on frame of a very pale green.

A detail of the cicada's pattern is displayed in a box on the left, allowing those who might not be able or willing to get in close to see the amazing art right on the creature's back.

An actual-life-size cicada is rendered in the upper-right, appearing to have lit right upon the canvas.
