"Ladybug" 2001
Acrylic on canvas 20 " x 16"

The ladybug, or ladybird, was originally called "bird of our lady," named after the Virgin Mary for their many good deeds: eating aphids off of roses and keeping myriad other harmful pests under control. In this painting, the ladybug is put on a pedestal and glows a beatific glow, representing the sacred origins of its name.
