SciFi and Fantasy Art Alternate Frogs III by Ursula Vernon

The golden flying frog, Rana avias concolor, in its natural habitat among the roots of the bristlecone pine. I've run across paintings of winged frogs a few times--did you know that there actually ARE things called flying frogs? They're like flying squirrels, though, no actual wings. Steph Law did a particularly nice one, lots of motion. I'm a naturalist at heart, though...I needed a close up of the specimen. I was itching to see every detail of his slimy little wings. This painting had sort of an interesting genesis...it started as a watercolor, over which I slaved for about two days before admitting that I have, in fact, been bested, and it was not going to look like my mental image without a minor miracle. Rather than sacrifice an art critic to the Watercolor Gods at midnight in hopes of requisitioning a miracle, I scanned the good bits and worked them over in my medium of choice, much to the betterment of the whole.
