Singapore Beetles
This vibrant new piece by Lonnie Cullers showcases a trio of colorful beetles rendered in striking detail and bold hues. The composition pops with iridescent blues, greens, purples, and fiery oranges that bring the insects to life against a warm, textured background—possibly a wooden surface or hand, suggesting a close, personal encounter with nature. The fine attention to form and the dynamic arrangement of the beetles make the painting feel energetic and playful. This work highlights Lonnie’s growing exploration of color and texture while maintaining the charm and precision seen in his more traditional, pastoral subjects. It’s a delightful and unexpected addition to his evolving portfolio, revealing a fresh direction and curiosity in his artistic journey which was potentially inspired by his daughter Rebecca’s relocation to Singapore.
