A Fun Piece to Do

"Working for Sh..  :)", Charcoal/Pastel, 8" x 8"

This was a fun piece to do, in-between my "normal" paintings, and I will be adding it to my series "Runaway Art".  The album can be viewed on my FB page, R.J. Collectibles - Fine Art.

I love to work with charcoal and an eraser, then add a touch of pastel color to it.  While working on this, I thought to myself...who but an artist would go looking for dung beetles on their morning walk (except maybe a little boy).

Google "dung beetles" and, believe it or not, there is some interesting information on them, from how they navigate, where they take the dung, and what they do with it.  Then you can say you learned something new today.
