The Lookout was inspired by the personality packed into such a tiny creature. I was drawn to the frog's alert expression and the way he seems to be quietly watching everything happening around him.
I wanted to keep the composition simple, allowing the frog to remain the focus while the loose wash of color adds a sense of his natural surroundings. The Lookout is a celebration of those small moments in nature that are easy to overlook, but full of character when we stop long enough to notice them.
