Stentor, pencil
Commissioned by: Minnesota Department of Natural Resources

Stentor is painted by Gina in watercolor in 2006 for Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. The narrow body widens to an open, trumpetlike end, and green and gray shading follows the changing shape. Seen up close, the microscopic organism becomes a clearly defined scientific portrait.
