Mixed Media Illustrative Painting, Wildlife, "REINDEER SKELETON" The Art of Nature, Fine Art by Mindy Lighthipe

Every semester I take my students to the Florida Museum of Natural History. They have an amazing collection of skulls in the Mammalogy department. For this drawing I drew this Reindeer skull. The specimen was from a reindeer that was kept in the Miami Zoo. I was able to find what their hoof prints looked like and was able to reconstruct the head from the skull. The paper is 300 lb watercolor paper that is hand torn for a deckled edge.

Nature Fine Art Painting, Original Watercolor Painting, Wildlife,”Vintage Stag Beetle” The Art of Nature, Fine Art by Mindy Lighthipe

This Stag Beetle made a great subject for this experiment of aging the watercolor paper. The paper was hand torn/deckled and then the beetle was done on top. This is a male beetle. You can tell by the size of the large Mandibles. The male uses the large mandibles to "duel" with other males. The mandibles act as a sword and will fling their opponent off of a log and declare to be the winner!
