Paintings by Robert McGinnis

paintings-by-robert-mcginnis-04

Robert McGinnis has a great touch if its comes to drawings. His drawings are attractive and sensual, the girls are always attractive and the guys are looking tough. There isn’t a better combination, don’t you think? He created classic films posters for James Bond, Breakfast At Tiffany’s, Arabesque, Barbarella and illustrations for more then 1200 paperback book covers. His site is “temporarily retired” so as he I guess, McGinnis was born in 1926. Robert McGinnis

Art by Nature – Insects From Our World

826.preview

Though often annoying, insects perform a vital function in the world’s eco-system. Their small size makes insects innocuous to most, however up close and personal insects may evoke other emotions.

Wasp

Wasps are critically important in natural bio-control. Almost every pest insect species has a wasp species that is a predator or parasite upon it. Parasitic wasps are also increasingly used in agricultural pest control as they have little impact on crops. Wasps also constitute an important part of the food chain.

Fly

Flies rely heavily on sight for survival. The compound eyes of flies are composed of thousands of individual lenses and are very sensitive to movement. Some flies have very accurate 3D vision. A few, like Ormia ochracea, have very advanced hearing organs.

Caterpillars

Caterpillars have rightly been called eating machines. They eat leaves voraciously, shed their skins generally four or five times, and eventually pupate into an adult form.

The Byzantine church located southwest of Jerusalem, excavated over the last two months, will be visible only for another week before archaeologists cover it again with soil for its own protection. The small basilica with an exquisitely decorated floor was active between the fifth and seventh centuries A.D., said the dig’s leader, Amir Ganor of the Israel Antiquities Authority. He said the floor was “one of the most beautiful mosaics to be uncovered in Israel in recent years.” “It is unique in its craftsmanship and level of preservation,” he said.
