Oh how fun… a slimy little green slithery friend with a coy smile who is looking to peruse your garden before it’s even full grown. Watch out! Free Graphic: Image of a slug
I finally finished my painting series of a tree in a field at different times of the year. I started with winter (a borrowed painting idea), moved on to autumn, then did summer and finally spring.
