So I've had a kind of "off" week with the kid's having a teacher's workday on Monday and then planning for Caroline's birthday....I showed my new botanical painting yesterday, but I didn't show my little commission I've been working on. You might have guessed from my title that it features a Dancing Praying Mantis!
It's for a logo of an Etsy artist, I thought it was such a cool project, I wanted to share it!
So on Tuesday, I did two sketches:
and she chose the second one! Here's how it looks right now. I still need to add a background and do a little touch up and then I"ll be done. It's been a looong time since I do any illustrations and I must say, I've forgotten how much fun it is!
Even though I'm extremely late for the party; I'm linking this with
Paint Party Friday. Go check it out- SO very much beauty to see there!
TTFN,
Stephanie

You must have had a ball coming up with this! Love it.
Such a clever, fun illustration of the praying mantis. He looks like he is having a good time. :)
Love the swirlyness of the wings on the little critter. The whole piece just makes me smile. You're doing a great job on it, as you always do. I can't wait to see the finished piece!
