Another magical palette creature. Fortunately, this little caterpillar made telepathic contact just before I swiped him with a paper towel. Now with the aid of Photoshop, he will metamorphosize in cyberspace:)

Comments on: "Metamorphosis" (50)
Saved in the nick of time! So much life in this scene!
Thanks Patti!
ooh, eerily chunky! amazing find!
Cath! Good to hear from you, and thanks!
I look forward to seeing in what marvellous being will it become.
I’m sure it will not be out of place with with which the characters inhabiting your magical forest.
Thank you Marcelo:)
It looks sort of foetal and caterpillar like at the same time. I love it!
Thanks so much!
I’m beginning to think these creatures are finding you, Elena, making contact any way they can. Great image.
I’m always surprised and plenty pleased when they do:) Thanks Richard!
Beautiful, fantasy, nightmare, strange neighborhood!
Pretty strange:) Thanks Sandee!
I’m telling you Elena..you definitely are living real close to fairyland!! You what I see? I actually see a magical creature with a head of a cute puppy and a body of a caterpillar..lol
I’m glad Shree! Magic should be personalized:)
Fascinating. Just… fascinating!
Thanks Gabriel!
So cool, your eyes see what many would pass over. This is so cool!
My eyes are tired Mary:) Thanks so much!
Fantastic! I have missed looking at your wonderful artwork.
Magical work. Metamorphosis on many levels. To me it looks like a caterpillar still under development, not yet “born”. The picture makes me think of those pictures of the development of a foetus. Beautiful!
Yes Otto! Something about it was nagging me to articulate just that, but I couldn’t quite understand it. Thank you!
I love it Elena! Its creepy and beautiful at the same time … the shiny globs of paint just add to the sensation.
Thank you Anna! I do enjoy a little creepy:)
Cyberspace is a most marvellous place to metamorphise….. puts a different meaning on ‘pupate’ … ? That palette if filled with magic 🙂
Yes it does:) Thanks:)
your work is amazing
You are very kind. I enjoy yours as well. Thank you!
Wow, look at him! I don’t know, he’s much less cute if I imagine him being quite large! I prefer to think you’ve got him under a magnifying glass. Really love the shape of him!
🙂 large, not so cute. Thanks Cindy!
Terrific, I love it!
Thanks:)
A strange thing is the imagination – actually I see a young child and kitten having fun together!!
Really? Fantastic:)
Amazing colors! Very interesting how you did!
Thank you for sharing.
Have a wonderful day, dear Elena! Big hugs, Stefania! 🙂
Thanks Stefania!
Wow, you do magic not only with your brushes, but also with your palette!
So very kind of you Mary, thank you!
It is magical!!! I’m glad you heard his little voice!
🙂 Happy Monday and new week, Elena!
🙂
You too Marina, and thank you! 🙂
Sweet and yet oh so grotesque, thanks so those pigs trotters feet and the thick globules of paint. The bottom-right blob looks like it has teeth *shudder*.
Hurray for telepathic contact, this little guy is very cool! A baby fattening up for the transformation. Magic!
It’s thrilling when they appear! Thanks Karen:)
Oh how I love it’s little legs!
🙂 thanks Robin!
Reminds me of a water bear: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrade
Great work as usual!
I will check it out! Thank you Jess!
Me encanta esta imagen.
Un abrazo
Thank you!
Stunning, Elena! I love it!
Hi Sophy! Thanks!
