This painting captures a moment of quiet wonder—a red-spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) navigating its emerald kingdom. The vibrant orange of the newt stands in luminous contrast to the lush green wilds surrounding it, like a living ember moving through moss. I was drawn to paint this small creature after encountering one, struck by how its brilliant markings seemed both warning and invitation. The soft edges between newt and environment speak to that permeable boundary where one life form meets another and the forest floor cradles its passage. Those distinctive red spots along its back become small beacons, nature's code signaling both beauty and caution. In these brushstrokes, I sought to honor one of our most overlooked neighbors, 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, ushering their fire through small and secret worlds.
