The wonder of Dragonflies

Week 26 is Mint, Arsenic, Butterscotch & Deep Brown

We travel to Bath every few months to deliver paintings to Red Rag Gallery who represent me. I love this city and we always make an outing of it, visiting museums and wondering around. I discovered today’s artist on a visit to the Victoria Gallery where they had an exhibition of Ladybird children’s books artists a while back.

John Leigh-Pemberton (1911-1997) was a British artist who worked mainly in natural history illustration. Over a career spanning multiple decades he was mot famously recognised for his detailed and accurate depiction of plant, birds and wildlife and his longstanding collaborations with Ladybird Books.
