This sassy ladybug wiggled her way  through wet paint and into another painting! 

You may have seen a previous reel of me painting this ladybug. I had this idea back then, of painting ladybug footprints (look them up, they’re adorable) as if she had walked across my palette and across this muted painting. I pass this painting every day, and that idea kept coming back there like a question waiting to be answered… so yesterday, I saw it and seized the moment to go all in and do it! I’m very happy with the colourful, playful interaction of paintings. 

The square canvas the ladybug tracked paint from is what I call my cast off canvas. As I paint, I like to avoid rinsing excess paint down the drain… so I brush it off on a nearby canvas. It keeps it out of the waterways, and at the same time prepares my next surface for painting. The colours and brush strokes on this canvas are from my last two ladybug paintings. 

Collected from a thrift store, the popular opinion was to keep the frame and throw away the print! It’s a good example of what happens when you display art/prints in the sun… it fades. This piece is a print on board featuring the work of Auguste Renoir,  “L'Estaque” painted in 1882.
