Description
If youβre a fan of my work please follow me on Instagram @jbischof71 for more great and recent art workAnd thank you for your support I canβt believe the response this has gotten.
its a painting.. of a mantis.. eatin stuff
in watercolor
its one of the first fine art pieces i've done where i actually stray from the original reference in terms of general structure, color, emphasizing things and making it my own. i think it turned out pretty good

LOL unusual subject matter, but all the awesomer for its unusualness. Beautiful too. ^__^
Are there such things as blue mantises, or did you just take artistic liberties with this?

Looks like he's saying "No, MY food!" There's a lot of character in his pose.
