With flowers Come Insects

“Crocus with Insect” original watercolor and acrylic painting by Gail Niebrugge, sold.

With the first bloom of the season soon arrive insects, thus beginning the cycle of life. I will never cease to be amazed that bugs return every year, another miracle of nature. From a cold, dark, frozen, seeming wasteland a delicate flower pushes through the first spot of warm earth and an insect materializes out of nowhere. I stand in awe, and can only paint what I see, and know, and understand. And, sometimes I really don’t understand, I just accept.

More tomorrow,
