Day of Judgment for a Pesky Mosquito
Artist

Medium
Painting - Acrylic
Description
It is a "Day of Judgment" for a pesky mosquito that has just laid eggs on a water lily pad! A green frog has spotted it and sticks its tongue out to eat it and its eggs, but the frog has competition in getting its food source! Some Koi fish also have spotted the pest and are coming up to the surface to get it as well. But wait, a green snake may get the mosquito before the other predators do! It is sneaking up to the water lily pad from underneath the grass reeds. The mosquito is trying to fly off and is only a few inches from the ground! Will it make it? In this original painting, I show a dragonfly overhead to help fight the mosquito in the air. Dragonflies have tremendous aerial capabilities! They can fly forwards or backwards and in any direction, as well as extremely fast. No other predator insect can match its stealth and speed!
This would be a good companion painting to the other 12 x 24 dragonfly painting posted on my page ("Blue Dragonfly Enjoying Visitors at the Flowerhead"). When buying the originals direct from me, there is a 15% percent discount, if you purchase multiples, or more than one painting at a time!

Maria, this is another nature scene that was mostly painted from my imagination, using a few photographs as reference material! I set up the scene to look like an aquatic quasi-military tactical situation with the sole purpose of eliminating the enemy target--the "pesky" mosquito! While I intended this painting to be a teaching tool about what happens in a healthy aquatic environment, I was aiming for a little humor here to deflect a too serious mood! I am glad that you like this work! Thanks for the compliment and your support!
