As I sit here, the days are beautiful and long. The sun beats down on the Comox Valley, leaving it dry. Leaves have yet to change colour and winter is seemingly a long way off. Summer is such a wonderful time of year.

The sunny skies and lengthy days have inspired me to once again look towards a creature that is sure to put a smile on one’s face—the ladybug. These magnificent insects are heralded by gardeners and children alike. They eat the bad bugs and fill kids with luck and whimsy.

During the winter months, the ladybug finds a cozy spot to hibernate and waits for the first warming, drying rays of the spring sunshine. By the time spring arrives, the Ladies grow a little impatient and can’t wait any longer to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. Much like the Ladies I, too, am fed up with an indoor life and take great pleasure in getting outside. “Ladies Can’t Wait” is my second print focusing on ladybugs.

“Ladies Can’t Wait” is a limited edition print using the giclée method of printmaking. Print production took place during August of 2004 at the artist’s own studio in Comox B.C.

The acid-free 100% cotton Royal Riviera Rag paper measures 6.5x19 inches. Image size measures about 5.5x18inches.
