A piece from 2017, around this same time of year. On a hike through the redwoods, there were so many ladybugs crawling over each other it looked like a shifting, solid mass, and it was (quietly) audible! One of the most surreal things I’ve witnessed (on a third date with my current partner, no less.) Today I happened to do the same hike, and there was a modest few piles of ladybugs, which brought me back to this piece.The pose is borrowed from Klimt, one of his figure drawing sketches from a secondhand book I found (but I replaced clothing with nature!) -- source link
