Tree Frog Nose to Nose with Flower

This watercolor captures a tender, almost secret moment—a baby tree frog leaning in, nose to nose with a Black-Eyed Susan as if sharing a quiet greeting. I was drawn to the intimacy between these two small forms, using warm golds and earthy shadows to cradle the vivid green of the frog. The gesture feels both curious and affectionate, a pause that blurs the line between observation and connection. In this piece, I explore how even the smallest encounters in nature can feel personal, reminding us that wonder often lives in moments we nearly overlook.
