I've been busy at the drawing board again, and with grandchildren there's pretty much an endless supply of inspiration. This year my grandson from Vegas got a taste of an Ohio summer, and had his first experience with lightning bugs! Here, he was afraid that he may have given this one (who he named Eddie) a bit too much attention. But Eddie managed to recover! Phew! He flew off after a brief rest and said he hopes to see Tux again next year!
Below is the straight colored pencil portrait. I dropped the image onto my iPad and added the background (a photo I had taken this spring), and a little more of Eddie's green glow. Credit for the original photo I used for reference, goes to his mama - Ashley.
