hahah, I like the comment. It changes the perception of the image ;P Nice bug. Can I wear it? xP

:-) Joel N. Barkley replies: "I don't always have a back story for my individual pieces, but this one had its story before it was finished. You can wear it, if you can catch it."

Nice bit of work, like the look of the bug.

:-) Joel N. Barkley replies: "This piece is the smallest painting that I have ever done, and one of my favorites! Thanks."

It makes me think of a bowie song called glass spider2

:-) Joel N. Barkley replies: "Man, I haven’t heard that song in decades, I’m gonna have to go listen to it again.

Wow....it looks so realistic! Great work!

:-) Joel N. Barkley replies: "This is one of my more successful attempts at realism and depth."

The shell looks like it’s aglow with fire, as if it were just taken out of a hearth.

:-) Joel N. Barkley replies: "I hadn’t thought about it that way, very cool! Thanks for stopping by!
Happy New Year!"
