Ugly Pie
Canyon Mantis
Acrylic on clay board, copper leaf oxidized, Image: 20”h x 16”w, framed: 21.25”h x 17.25”w, Item No. 22464,
Oxidized Copper leaf gives the pupils of a praying mantis a shimmering glow in "Canyon Mantis" by Ugly Pie.
A soft and billowy blue background swims around effortlessly, with subtle brush movements from pink and orange hues. The praying mantis himself has various mountain hued tones of brown, orange, and black stretched upon its face and bodice.
A crown of antennae lays gently on top of his head, and with its irregular shape, it creates an abstraction that is interesting to the eye.
