There is so much to be learned from looking at life a little closer. With my painting “Warts and All” I wanted to do just that, invite the viewer to take a closer look as something as tiny and insignificant as a toad’s eye- a natural work of art. If you look closely at a real toad eye you will indeed see gold flecks so bright you’d think they were put there by a gold jeweler.

In this painting I am merely celebrating that art. Instead of merely imitating what I saw with technical detail, I only accentuated the artistic elements that already exist and reinterpreted the splotchy patterns of the skin, the complimentary colors and the striking focal point of the jeweled eye.
