This beetle looks like a jewel so I used some iridescent paint to capture that, can you see it?
I wonder WHY is the June beetle so shiny, is there an evolutionary reason or is nature just mysterious?

We might revive the idea in the future in one form or another, but no promises. If you want in, this is your last chance.

I think for me, this step feels especially satisfying in part for what it represents. The idea and paints went from chaos to order, and this is the last step, reducing that last sign of the messiness of the creating process. Does that idea resonate?

Today I faced the shiny part of the beetle head on. Start painting and the rest will come, just like always. But what do you think, does this read as shininess to you?
