Artist's Description
This work is a little different from the rest of my paintings! It is called "A Deep look into Nature and Our Water" because I am trying to get people to think about what helps to make our water safe and healthy for our world! It is about achieving a balance in nature where in a healthy aquatic environment (i.e. without the use of chemicals), predators of pests that eat mosquitos abound! It is a "Day of Judgment" for a pesky mosquito that has just laid eggs on a water lily pad! A green frog has spotted it and sticks its tongue out to eat it and its eggs, but the frog has competition in getting its food source! Some Koi fish also have spotted the pest and are coming up to the surface to get it as well. But wait, a green snake may get the mosquito before the other predators do! It is sneaking up to the water lily pad from underneath the grass reeds. The mosquito is trying to fly off and is only a few inches from the ground! Will it make it? In the original painting, I show a dragonfly o...
About Kimberlee Baxter
Before I had my two children, I worked selling furniture and helping people to decorate their homes--my first passion--interior decorating/design and art! Before I went back to my first passion, I worked for a variety of non-profits and government sponsored programs--including AmeriCorps (domestic version of the PeaceCorps), D.H.S., and the University of TN. Before working in the non-profits, I attended the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and really enjoyed being politically active with a group that addressed socio-economic injustices! As a result, I decided to major in Political Science and Anthropology. Studying about different cultures, its art, and political systems has always fascinated me! I think that we can learn a...

Thank you, Aurelio! I can take credit for the painting, but the genius and wisdom of these words belong to Albert Einstein! Thanks for appreciating this work with me and for your awesome support!
Aurelio Zucco
Excellent work, Kimberlee! I like the quote too! L/F
Kimberlee Baxter
Maria, this is another nature scene that was mostly painted from my imagination, using a few photographs as reference material! I set up the scene to look like an aquatic quasi-military tactical situation with the sole purpose of eliminating the enemy target--the "pesky" mosquito! While I intended this painting to be a teaching tool about what happens in a healthy aquatic environment, I was aiming for a little humor here to deflect a too serious mood! I am glad that you like this work! Thanks for the compliment and your support!
Kimberlee Baxter
That is so very sweet, Maria! I really appreciate your kind words that come from the heart! I am very honored, too, as I love your work as well!
Maria Hunt
Kimberlee, This is such a beautiful painting with a description that adds depth and meaning. Wonderful job. Thank you for serving in AmeriCorps. You made the world a better place.
Kimberlee Baxter
Thanks, Lisa, I was so fortunate to be able to serve for two years! I highly recommend for all high school or college graduates to consider taking a year or two and serving to give back to their community! PeaceCorps is an awesome way to serve and help others less fortunate and learn about a different culture and strengthen their foreign language skills! An injury from a car wreck prior to that prevented me from serving overseas, due to health issues! But I would not trade the years of service I did in AmeriCorps, as the experience has been life changing for me!
Lisa Kaiser
Thank you for your service.
Kimberlee Baxter
Thanks once again, Lisa, for your lovely and sincere comments about my artwork! Yes, especially since I served for two years in AmeriCorps (domestic version of the PeaceCorps) and got a chance the first year of my service to work on the Water Quality Team in Knoxville, TN, I got a chance to learn about what makes water healthy in creeks and lakes and what to do to clean them up and try to keep them healthy! Many people do not understand the relationship between what they do on their land can directly affect nearby creeks and their Watershed area, which in turn flows into a lake where their drinking water is pumped from! It is important to consider how we as community members can positively impact our waterways! These dragonflies help to maintain a healthy aquatic environment, especially in their nymph stage when they actually live in the water! They eat more mosquito eggs at this stage and really help to stave off "pesky" mosquitos like the one shown in this painting I did for fun!
Lisa Kaiser
Thank you for making us aware that keeping our water ways healthy is best for everyone. I hate to see nature contaminated by human development. Also dragonflies are really beautiful and your paintings capture them as such.
Kimberlee Baxter
Christian, thank you so much for your recent feature in the new group EkoArts! I really appreciate it, as it is quite an honor!

Very interesting painting and beautiful words Kimberlee. As to your question who gets to eat the mosquito. There's two that do so. Though the Koi fish look much closer and are moving up fast. The green snake is very close also and can strike very quickly. A the dragonfly an amazing creature and highly still at catching mosquitos. The silly old frog moves much slower then all the others. Though all move much faster and must much closer then the frog. The frog's tongue is far quicker then them all. A frog's is can extend out and back in at 15/l00s of a second. See that his tongue is more then halfway there that means he'll reach the mosquito in less then a 3/100s of a second. The mosquito will be in the frog's mouth in about 7/100s of a second after that. So the slow moving frog from eats the mosquito. But the "Day of Judgment " don't end here for most all if not all water snakes love eating frogs. So the green snake also eat the mosquito along with the frog. The Koi may eat some mosquito eggs left behind because the from would go for the prize of the mosquito as to not let it slip away from him. A frog concentrating on something to eat would fall easy pray to a water snake. As for the dragonfly catching mosquito in the air is a much easier and safer way to go. Thank you for making me think with a deep look into nature Kimberlee :o) Like / Favorite
Kimberlee Baxter replied:
Wow, Ken, thank you for your thoughtful and thorough analysis here! I am beginning to think that we have created a scenario that would be perfect for a video or computer game to see who will get the mosquito first! We could call it "End Game for a Mosquito!", or "Who's going to eat WHO first?". This sounds like it would be a lot of fun!
Robert Frederick
Great eye-catching poster. I like the blue and gold - excellent work
Kimberlee Baxter replied:
Thank you, Robert. I like using colors that work well together and not fight with each other. I think that it is more pleasing to the eye when they work in harmony! Really, there isn't any better opportunity to achieve instant and dramatic impact than when painting or photographing a sunrise or sunset!
Michael Anthony
Nice color shades
Kimberlee Baxter replied:
Thank you, Michael. I appreciate the compliment! I mostly painted this to teach about ecology and promote healthy aquatic environments!
