Paramecium, a one-celled protozoan that moves with cilia, is painted by Gina in colored pencil and watercolor in 2006 for Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. It is found in freshwater ponds, lakes and other freshwater areas. Fine projections fringe the elongated outline, and pale green and gray structures fill the interior, showing surface and internal organization together.
