Little Lion

Description

My daughter Megan loves dandelions, so she inspired this painting of a little dandelion faery.

The word 'dandelion' comes from the French 'dent de lion' or ' lion's tooth', called such for the toothy shapes on the edges of the leaves. I love dandelions, they're not a weed but a very useful wildflower! Bees and butterflies love them, and they have numerous benefits in the garden, kitchen and medicine cabinet.

I'm starting a dandelion appreciation society!

As a kid I was always fascinated with dandelions.  This painting is so special!
