Meet Fernando, the Blossom Frog: The Jungle’s Tiny Star


Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a tiny frog with a big personality? Let me introduce you to Fernando, the star of my latest painting, Blossom Frog. This vibrant little character brings a splash of joy to the rainforest and, I hope, to your home too. But Fernando is more than just a pretty face—he has a story to tell, one that’s as playful as the painting itself.



The Story of Fernando


Perched delicately on a bamboo stalk, Fernando the frog wasn’t your average tree-dweller. Oh no, Fernando had a flair for the dramatic. With his bright red eyes sparkling like rubies and his vivid green skin glistening in the morning dew, he was the undisputed king of his little patch of the rainforest.


But Fernando wasn’t just about looking fabulous—he had a secret. Every morning, as the sun peeked through the jungle canopy, Fernando would carefully leap to the nearest blossom and begin his daily serenade. With a croak that could charm even the grumpiest toucan, he sang his heart out to the flowers, believing they bloomed brighter just for him.

And maybe they did.


Today, as he clung to a branch surrounded by delicate white petals, Fernando was particularly pleased with himself. He had discovered this perfect little spot—a stage framed by blossoms. “Ah, my adoring audience!” he croaked. “Prepare yourselves for the performance of a lifetime!”


The jungle fell silent (or so Fernando liked to imagine), and he began his grand symphony of croaks and chirps. Bees buzzed along to the rhythm, and even a butterfly paused mid-flight to admire his artistry.


As the sun dipped lower, Fernando finally ended his performance with a triumphant ribbit. He puffed out his chest, gave a little bow, and decided that he had, once again, made the rainforest just a little more magical.


And so, as the moonlight bathed the blossoms and the jungle whispered its nightly lullabies, Fernando settled in for a well-earned rest, dreaming of tomorrow’s encore.



The Process Behind the Painting


When I painted Fernando, I wanted to capture his charm and energy while celebrating the beauty of the rainforest. I chose vibrant greens for the background to evoke the lushness of his home and added delicate white blossoms to frame him like the little star he is. His bold red eyes became the focal point, drawing you into his cheeky personality.


I used acrylics for this piece, layering bright tones and subtle highlights to make Fernando almost leap off the bamboo stalk. Splashes of white and soft details around the flowers add movement and a sense of life to the scene.



Why Fernando Belongs in Your Home


Fernando’s story is one of joy, confidence, and a touch of whimsy. Whether you’re a lover of nature, a fan of bold colours, or just someone who enjoys a cheerful companion on your wall, Blossom Frog brings a little magic to any space.
