Right now I am working on a mural for the Mexican Beaded lizard exhibit.  I've been looking at pictures of the Sierra Madre Occidental, a mountain range in western Mexico where beaded lizards are found.  The environment of the mountain range is mostly dry tropical forests that are a mix of trees, scrub, and funny looking cactus, so that is what I will be painting.


The beaded lizard is one of only two species of poisonous lizard in the entire world (I painted the exhibit for the other species of poisonous lizard, the gila monster, just last month).  They're pretty awesome.


I still have a lot to do on the mural, but I think the mountains and clouds are looking pretty good.  I am covering up the old mural (a jungle scene) as I go, though I might leave a few leaves.

  1. I'm currently watching you paint (not creepy at all lol) and you're very talented. Prob heard that a million times before but it cant hurt to hear it again. I appreciated ur sign though. Clever. Also, smart idea setting up this blog. Def better than screaming through the glass. Makes me think of the snake exhibit scene in the 1st harry potter...
