Familiar bluet damselfly, on an oyster shell.

While damselflies can fold their wings back along their bodies, dragonflies never do. Or so I learned, somewhere on Mastodon.

Soon to be for sale in the shop at the Seattle Art Museum. For information on purchasing, see my website: https://kitozbooks.com/product/painted-oyster-shells/

@KitOz I just love all the detail on the legs and wings and the gold makes such a wonderful frame for this. Fabulous!

@CorkTurtle Thank you! Dragonflies and damselflies are a challenge to draw -- particularly those wing patterns! -- but I love them enough to make it worth it.
