"Joyous World"
I love colorful animals, and the purple Harlequin frog just happens to display all it's fabulous glory in my favorite color! I couldn't resist featuring this beautiful species in my newest MAD Wonderland painting "Joyous World".
Five Harlequin Frog Facts:
Five Harlequin Frog Facts:
- Commonly called the Purple Fluorescent Frog, it was only discovered in 2007.
- They are found only in Costa Rica, but due to loss of habitat, and disease linked to climate change, have become critically endangered.
- They live to be around 10 years old.
- The males have no vocal sac, so they communicate to females through head and leg twitches, stomping the ground and hopping.
- They are a land frog, and only go in the water during mating season.
-
Conservation efforts and constant monitoring of the species for disease, habitat protection and genetic studies have helped to keep the population stable.
A portion of the proceeds of this painting will be donated to Rewild an organization I have collaborated with, and continue to contribute to.

Thank you so much Staci! I’ve just developed my style over time with a love of color, whimsy and conserving and preserving our planet :) I do have a few tutorials on my YouTube channel @madartstudios ~ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_PyXrZE6VCTJ94mIODu7mg
Where do you get your inspiration—I suppose by inspiration I mean painting style? I am obsessed with your art!! It is so beautifully whimsical! Do you teach your artistic style? Fantastic art!
