If there is a creator, he must have an inordinate fondness for beetles. #Haldane #inordinatefondnessforbeetles #nogodsbutnature #iconography #watercolor #beetlelarvae #larvae #illustration #virginmary #wip (at New Haven, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/baylaart/p/Bvgq9euAQmM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14ifbbnkqlqvp

Finished painting this enthroned #madonna and child and so pleased with the outcome. This is my first official piece painting #watercolor on wood using #danielsmith #watercolorground, and all that's left to do now is a top coat of #varnish . I used 23k gold for the halos, and the amazing beetle laser cut panel is from @christian1perez over at @hopegallerytattoo where this piece will go up in the Fall. . #iconography #inordinatefondnessforbeetles #Haldane #larvae #illustration #goldleaf #darkart #lowbrow #virginmary #saint #jesus #beetlejuice (at Hope Gallery Tattoo) https://www.instagram.com/baylaart/p/BwX_fHtBzl6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z4sxnr6woye7

Please join me at the opening of Metamorphosis at @hopegallerytattoo on Saturday September 7th at 9pm. There are SO many amazing artists in this show, I'm completely blown away and grappling with some serious imposter syndrome. @christian1perez did an incredible job putting this all together and I'm so honored to be involved. Hopefully see you all there! .
