Orange Lily-Stag Beetle (original painting)
Orange Lily-Stag Beetle (original painting)
Lilly A., 2026, 16x20, Acrylic on canvas
Description
This specimen-style painting features a scientific-surrealist hybrid of a stag beetle and a vibrant flame lily. The top half of the piece details the textured, dark chitinous armor and mandibles of the beetle, rendered in a traditional entomological study format against a neutral cream background. In place of the elytra, the abdomen is comprised of layered, ruffled petals in shades of crimson and amber, transitioning into delicate stamen that extend from the base. This original acrylic on canvas piece balances technical accuracy with organic abstraction, exploring the textural parallels between insect anatomy and botanical structures.
