The Frog (Verdant Vigil: A Frogs Gaze) Acrylic Figurative Painting

The work stages a quiet confrontation between realms: a lime-green frog, tessellated like stained glass, presses into a deep cobalt current where spiral forms read as both eddies and watchful eyes. Light becomes particulate—white dots scattered across leaf and water—turning the scene into a vibrating ecology of breath, moisture, and alertness, as if perception itself were the habitat. The diagonal thrust of reeds and the compressed overlap of bodies create a suspended instant, suggesting the fragile poise of survival where camouflage is also a kind of beauty.
