Lovely effect Carole. I found a couple of ladybirds in my fridge recently! They were hibernating-apparently not unusual. 🤷‍♀️

This is so effective, Carole, it's spot on, those primroses really set off the whole picture, and the hand looks so endearing

A beautiful pastel painting, Carole - delightfully original!

Thank you Heather, Tessa and Thalia for your lovely comments. You would have thought it would have been too cold for ladybirds to hibernate in a fridge Tessa. Nature is always a mystery.

Noticed a few ladybirds in the garden and I was attracted to one near some primroses. The hand is from my imagination, as is the background. The primroses were larger than normal and they look a bit too big in the painting. Soft pastels and pastel pencils on pastel at 10” x 12”.
