Chameleon in Love

24x24" Mixed media, oil, beads, metal leaf, and leather
 
This was the second piece I made, I love when chameleons hold on to things and curve up, their eyes don’t seem to have any emotions, but the body expresses itself. The grainy skin of the chameleon expressed with small beads and the heart seemed too flat, so I added some texture leather triangles on it to give it the same weight.
