Friday Art - Mimicry

 

owl moth

This is an interesting wildlife article on Mimicry. "Mimicry is an adaptation that helps wildlife species live longer by trying to mimic or copycat other top predators."

I was inspired to paint an owl mothACEO (2 12" x 3 1/2") which evolved to look like an owl to protect itself from predators.

Linking to Gillena's Art For Fun Friday and Nicole's Friday Face Off.  This is sort of a (mimicked) face isn't it?

It’s an awesome piece! I saw a “face” at first but my perspective immediately changed. I love it!

Christine said...

I sometimes have to do the comment twice too Laurie when it disappears. It has been ok lately.

You do a great job inspiring me to work more on my ACEOs. Love this owl moth. I never heard of one and enjoyed looking them up.

I've never heard of an owl moth, but it definitely has a face. You did an amazing job of drawing, coloring, and painting it.
