Lucky Bug-Cricket

Close ups

Oil on 5x7 hardboard.

This is my contribution to this week's DPW's "The Superstition Challenge" posted by Gwen Duda.
We were challenged to do a painting based on a superstition.
A cricket in the house is supposed to be good luck. Here, boy....I need all the luck I can get!
I love to hear their song.

  1. He looks so real, great job. They drive me crazy when they get in, I'll have to remember to tell myself that's good luck.
