This quick little guy was inspired by a kind offer by Mary of Oil Pastels by Mary when she posted photos of geckos and lizards on her blog.
Mary works amazing painterly magic with oil pastels, a medium which has always been for me, completely confounding!:) Mary is also a lovely, supportive blogger friend. Thank you Mary!

I think they are Me’anie. I’ve only seen Mary’s photo:) Thank you!
He really looks 3D! The dots and trails of color boost the sense of motion. Great work!
It’s amazing how easy it is to flick paint and how much it can change a static image. Thanks so much Jeff!
I just love it when I see people whom I admire their work ‘tickle’ each other’s brains! 😉
I remember Mary’s gecko and I know it would feel very proud with your interpretation 🙂
The best thing about blogging I think, is the inspiration and support. I know I feel that way when I visit your blog, enjoy your work and lovely comments. Thank you Marina!
