Firefly

16 1/2 x 17" original oil

OK, so ignore the weird size...long story. Just pretend it's 17x17". 

I love the colors in this piece! At first glance it's just whites and oranges, but if you look closer, there are lavenders, minty greens, pale blues, burnt yellows, olives, creamy grays, and dusty pinks. Yum. 

When I was a kid growing up in Missouri, I loved to stay out late on summer nights, listening to the cicadas, and running in the twilight to catch luminescent fireflies.

Don't Fireflies glow green? Not that many in the west know that. :) The colors are striking, definitely conjures thoughts of a campfire on a summer night!
