This painting captures a moment of quiet wonder—a red-spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) navigating its emerald kingdom. I was drawn to paint this small creature after encountering one, struck by how its brilliant markings seemed both warning and invitation. I sought to honor an oft overlooked neighbor, whose ancient lineage carries stories of adaptation and resilience. The newt reminds us that transformation happens in hidden places, and that the most vivid expressions of life often move quietly beneath our notice, through small and secret worlds.
