The Splendid Frog (cruziohyla calcarifer). The orginal photograph was taken by one of the keepers at Chester Zoo. Environmental change and disease has put the splendid leaf frog teetering on the brink of extinction.

This painting was featured in the profiles section of the magazine Artists and Illustrators June 2009.

The Common European Frog (rana temporaria). Not as colourful as some of his tropical rain forest cousins, he is none the less a handsome little creature. The name 'common' is still true but this species, like all frogs is in danger from the fungus batrachochytrium dendrobatidis.

Red Eyed Tree Frog (agalychnis callidryas). Orginal photograph taken by Dennis Sheridan . In my mind this is one of the best photographs ever taken of this beautiful little creature.

Tropical Tree Frog (hyla ebraccata). This frog lives high in the rainforest tree tops. It is only 1-2cm long and so this painting represents a 12 times magnification!

I found the image on the web, I think the orginal was taken by Yuri Hooker, but I can't find reference to it any more.
