The Frog Catchers

"The Frog Catchers", pastel, 12x16, $950..SOLD

This painting was inspired after watching my daughter and her friend trying to catch frogs a month or so ago. The weather had been warm and the frogs were being noisy. They caught some little bullfrogs and then let them go. I loved the backlighting of the late afternoon and caught the action on my camera. The whole scene was very colorful with the spring greens and bright buckets.

The painting was accepted in the Festival of the Arts 2010 Exhibit in downtown Grand Rapids at the old Federal Building. The show is up until June 13.
