Bees are a popular and fun pollinator to paint. We have many native bees, and non-native bees locally in Tennessee. Joy plans to add to the collection on a regular basis as she discovers these beautiful creatures.

Most people think of Reptiles as snakes, forgetting the Turtles and Lizards. Joy started her Tennessee Collection of paintings with twelve turtles found in Tennessee. These are the founding members of the collection, and they are still the most popular of all her paintings.

With Spring comes the frogs, salamanders, toads and more. Tennessee has 22 frogs and toads, and 52 Salamanders. These little guys can be a bit difficult to find for painting, so check back regularly for new paintings. They will be added as Joy can find and paint these little amphibians.
