Watercolor painting of a slug with a red back and kissy lips following a shiny trail to a tomato plant with a big ripe tomato with suggested human face features. Ode to a Slug by Kaz Windness I have never seen a bug, quite as handsome as a slug. Dancing eyes and glistening tail, writing love poems with their trail. Leading to our rendezvous, underneath these leaves of dew. To kiss my ripe and blushing face. Until Iโm gone without a trace.
What's your favorite creepy crawly? "Ode to a Slug" is based on a little friend I saw outside the barn at @highlightsfound.bsky.social on Thursday. And yes, I know slugs are not bugs, but the rhyme is to delicious to resist. #watercolor #collage #coloredpencil #digitalart
