Cicada Fine Art Print

Description

I think cicadas are fascinating...sure that sound they make is deafening. A number of years ago, my son and I collected a bunch that we brought indoorsand watched overnight as they emerged from their shell. At that point, they were a ethereal, transluscent day-glo kind of color. It was almost surreal. By morning, their wings and bodies had hardened and we let them go. No doubt, they promptly headed off to the nearby trees to sing.

In honor of that night, I did a drawing. The original is in silverpoint, with watercolor and gouache. I originally offered this image as an ACEO sized print. I am offering it here at approximately 5" x 7", so it will fit in a standard size mat and/or frame. As usual, it's printed with archival inks on an acid free, high quality art paper. I sign and title each one.

Thanks for stopping by!
