What does a spider do on the Internet? She spins a website! I never really thought of myself much as a bug person. But then I started to notice some frequent fliers (get it?) in my artwork. They are natural accoutrements of course with these flowers. I figured that spinning a post about this recurring theme in my paintings might be fun. So, step into my web... and I shall weave you a tale.
As a young child, I rescued ladybugs. I talked to butterflies as they flitted upon my fingertip and relocated caterpillars from the pavement into the grass so that they would well, you know, not get squashed.
I no longer keep lightening bugs as pets (I blame that one on those silly boys who lived next door) but I am still fascinated as I watch those busy little bees look for whatever it is they can't seem to find. The spectacular colors, intricate designs, and multiple textures of this cast of nature's characters beg to be interpreted in watercolors, acrylics, or oils. No surprise here then! I just couldn't resist painting these ladybugs. I think they must be enjoying some sunshine and R&R on Daisy Island.
