A hand-drawn illustration of a beautiful cicada basking in the hot sun. Inspired by tropical visits to Greece where they sing all summer long, this drawing is a detailed rendering of a fabulous insect, highlighting the beautiful camouflaged colouring and spindly legs that hold up a solid form. A great addition to a gallery wall inspired by nature and reflecting the colours of our world. A unique print available as a gift or just to treat yourself!
 
Here is a poem by Jill Brasell, which I think perfectly captures the droning song of the wonderful Cicada.
 
"Clickety-Clack Cicada
 
Clickety-Clack cicada
Clinging to the wall,
When the sun is sleeping
You don't sing at all.
But when the sun is shining
On summer days so long,
Clickety-clack cicada
What a noisy song!"
