Illustration Friday - "Garden"

©Kathleen Rietz
I did this one a while ago, but it fits the theme so well and that ladybug was always such a jokester! I thought I might revisit this garden today..

    Hi Kate,

    As usual, your illos are joyful and inspiring! I hope you are doing well and life is happy. I'm still working with my online portfolio while trying to keep up with work. Spent a week visiting my family on the east coast.

    I'm still taking a break from blogging but wanted to let you know you are not forgotten.

    be well ~Michelle

    Instead of a "secret garden" this appears to be a "telling secrets garden!" Very sweet illo, Kate!
