9/12 – Rosy Maple Moth, 6×6 Acrylics on Paper
What colors! This moth is adorable – pastel pinks and yellows. And so fuzzy.

9/10 Chloroda Tricolor Moth, 6×6 Acrylics on Paper
The natural world is amazing. So many varieties, especially in the insect world. One of my friends suggested I paint a spider. Nope Nope Nope.

9/9 Merveille du Jour Moth, 6×6 Acrylics on Paper
A spectacular moth, “Merveille du Jour” is a perfect name – marvel of the day. Common to England and Wales (sometimes Scotland) with distinctive markings. They look almost marbled!

9/8 – Bella Polilla Amarilla, 6×6 Acrylics on Paper
What a lovely name, “Beautiful Yellow Moth” – sounds so exotic. The real name seems to be Amaxia Pulchra Tiger Moth. Which is also pretty cool.

Oops I did it again – I signed up for another painting Challenge. Considering the chaos of my daily life, I am really not sure how I will do it, but, that’s the challenge of it, eh?
I realized today that I have been participating in these daily painting challenges for about a decade now. A decade! I first started out with the Forgotten Works Challenge in Seattle, and brought the concept with me to Idaho when I moved there in 2011.
