I like the simplicity of your composition. This is so cute! The little lady seems to sleep comfortably. I think I see a smile on her face. This painting could be an illustration in a children book or a perfect greeting card. The coloring is pleasant. The lady is perfectly placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

You painted this in One Day?! If so that is amazing Susan. Even if it took two weeks it is still a very nice work of art. The colors are great. I like how you made the wing cover shell look like it has a shiny spot. Good placement in the scene and nicely balanced with the Fennel branches. Nice work Susan ~ Steve

Comment from Patti C
This is a fun little art project. I really like the bright red of your bug. The head and eyes are very well done. I like the bit of white on the wing as light glare. Stay well.

This has an Asian quality to it. I like the simplicity of the composition and the selection of background color. This does not look like a copy of a photograph, but more like an original creation. Nice work.

Thanks a million for your complementary review on this Ladybird on Fennel. I only ever paint using my own photos never anyone else's . Looking at my photos bring me back to the scene flower or scene depicted.

Of course. I didn't mean to imply that you used someone else's shot, just that this didn't seem like it was based on a photo, but rather on your own imagination.
Comment from Sange
Very nice work Susan ;) I did not know you paint and it's nice to see this Lady Bug chilling out on fennel. I buy Fennel for my Dog and myself to eat every night after dinner. He loves it. Helps his stomach and keeps him calm and happy.
Nice details and textures.
I like the bright red on the lady.
Impressive work Susan ;)

Sandra,
Thanks a million for your complementary review on this painting of the Ladybird... I used to paint much more in the past but have not painted for quite a while. I attempted to paint a Blackbird & a Kingfisher this morning but I was not satisfied with them. I'll keep trying.

A fine example of Simplistic painting, a genre rarely seen today! I like the way you have play the red of the bug against the green. Good effort!

Comment from Renate-Bertodi
How wonderful, you are painting - Tender depiction of this mild little creature towards which I and many are much inclined, with its charasteristic bright red wings and black markings. I even like spots on my own clothes! The fennel is the exact green!

I thought it was again one of your older paintings; apparently you didn't forget the technique; nice painting of the ladybug on fennel leaves taken with shar focus;

Merci beaucoup mille fois for your complementary review on this painting of the Ladybird on the Fennel. I've just drawn two birds waiting to paint them when I get the urge.
