A textured study in earth tones, this 8 × 10 oil painting captures a Polyphemus moth in a moment of stillness. The thick, impasto brushstrokes lend a velvet-like richness to the ochre and umber wings, which stand out against a sage green background. Touches of gold leaf catch the light within the wing's delicate eye-spots. Framed in a deep black gallery cove, the piece balances the ruggedness of nature with a clean, modern finish.
