...Kat, I'm mightily impressed with your talent!<br /><br />As far as beetles, I guess I can see where they're beautiful, but practically speaking we've had an infestation in our area of these beetles that people say are Asian. They're about half an inch long, and don't do anything except fly around, but I'm SO TIRED of finding them in our house even now. I'm worried about the spring.<br /><br />Happy New Year!Amy Deardonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01360116339457651031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036843894999783533.post-92055468370054788582011-01-02T09:33:14.118-08:002011-01-02T09:33:14.118-08:00Excellent post...love the artwork, amazing.

Nice touch going on the diagonal there--I see that the principles of composition have stuck with you. :)<br /><br />I'm intrigued by the beetle book.

So rest assured, you are free to hate them and it does not besmirch beetles in the least :).<br /><br />PS--I'm so with ya. Roaches are nasty. And here in FL, they get BIG.
