new drawing
Here's a drawing I did last summer of a grey treefrog on a cherry tree trunk with toadstools. The tree is one near a local nature center that I found fascinating. It's done in pencil and pen & ink. I also added a close-up of the frog, as my sister said it was hard to see, entirely missing the point of camouflage. It was one that I sent to the Cold-Blooded Creations Show in Daytona Beach, Florida last August.

I love it. I'm a frog fan and that is very nice. (I have been cleaning my house so have not been around visiting on xanga much.)
Jackie, seriously - that is *excellent*! You just seem to grow better by the year. (I guess all we artists do - it's just experience - but all the same, someone needs to say it to you! This one of the frog belongs in a book illustration somewhere....Honest. This one has such a delicacy, an intricacy to it...

Hey im Tom, like the way you write. Come visit us and hear our music and get some ringtones. Xanga supported.
LOL about your sister's comment. He's really sweet, the little frog. I love how his pattern fits in with the elements of the tree. I fell in love with frogs in my college town as there were yellow warning signs on the streets all around the preserve that said "Frog Crossing". I thought they were a joke or a way to get people to visit the preserve until one day I went walking in it with my friend and each step we took made about a million-and-one tiny frogs leap about.
Well I admit I had to look very hard to see it. I understand camoflauge and new something was there.
I love your newest pic!!!!!!!!
That is a great picture. The textures of the tree and the camoflague of the frog worked well
