“What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.” – Richard Bach
This carousel animal is a Monarch caterpillar. The ‘saddle’ is a Monarch Butterfly. It was another of the creations of The Carousel Works.

When I think about carousels, I think about picnics in the park. Of course, no picnic is complete without an ant or 146. Here we put one to recreational use on a carousel! After all, they say that ants can carry many times their own body weight. This one can even carry your’s.
This is my 14th carousel animal in my Fun-A-Day ‘Prequel’. We need to raise funds to put this on. We have no stands or racks for people to hang their artwork on. There are other expenses related to starting an organization as well. Please buy art now and share this site.

I first saw this Carousel Ladybug in a photo of the carousel at the Kansas City National Park. I saw it again at the company who manufactured it from hardwoods: Carousel Works. They will make carousel animals to order of any animal or insect one could desire. They even made one non-animal: a baseball bat, with the glove for the saddle! I painted this mostly using a pencil partially sharpened, then the eraser for the large dots.

This painting was inspired by our visit to Edge of the Woods Native Plant Nursery. They have a beautiful butterfly garden that contains all of these plants plus several more in a dense, four foot tall jumble. We have all of the plants portrayed, in our yard in front of the little house we rent. They are goldenrod, milkweed, boneset, butterfly weed, native bee balm, oxeye daisies and red lobelia.
Several types of bees were all over the blooms, this summer, along with about a dozen types of butterflies.
It is also available on a deck of cards and soon on other things from our Zazzle store. Click here to learn more:

I painted this bumblebee on a native Virginia Rose based on a photo from our garden from last summer.
Bumblebees are now endangered in US (regardless of what the so-called president Trump says) due to the use of Monsanto’s RoundUp, mono-culture farming, and the supplanting of native plants with exotics.
We replaced 30% of our lawn with native plants and always see lots of bumbles and other bees, along with butterflies, moths and birds of all types. Native plants are those that were in the area before Europeans arrived about 400 years ago.
The painting is 6″ x 6″ acrylic on stretched canvas, so is about life-size.
