When Nikki Brighton posted this image up of a centipede mother protecting her eggs a few years ago, I fell in love with it and felt compelled to paint it. Centipedes have always frightened me, but seeing a mother centipede fiercely protecting her eggs immediately endeared me to them. I love how these mothers hide unassumingly, tucked out of sight, wholly devoted to protecting their offspring. There is something incredibly inspiring in that devotion.
I've finally (after four years) finished this painting and should you want to own it, please let me know.
