Busy Bee

Comments

She’s lovely!

Thank you Emma, I had a bit of fun doing this 😀

I love it. The semi abstract flower is really effective

Dazzling Linda. Good to see you in fine form. (-:

Sounds like an interesting mix of pens etc Linda and what a lovely result, very sweet and the honeysuckle is super.

Fabulous Linda, great experiment

Really lovely Linda.

Thank you Diana, I thought it had a bit of an abstract feel as well!! Jim, thank you for your comment, as always greatly appreciated. Mia, Thank you for your kind comments. Gudrun, much appreciated comment. Zoe, many thanks for your comment. Really enjoyed doing this small painting, practice with the inkbrush is always fun, you never know how things will turn out, they are vivid colours so trying to blend colours together with plenty of water seems to be the best thing for small works, wouldn't attempt a large painting.

A real eye catcher, Linda. Well done!

Lovely flow to this.

Many thanks Tessa, Heather and Katy for your encouraging comments.

Love that flowing web of harmonious, colour with the crowning glory of the busy bee in the middle. A real beauty Lina.

Thank you Carole, as always your comments are so appreciated.

A real eye catcher Linda, when I opened the gallery page it stood out. The bee is so well painted and is set off by the subtle way you’ve painted the flower. Really lovely.

Excellent Linda - the "abstract" flower really enhances the busy bee.

Thanks Fiona and Richard, sometimes the colours don't quite come out how you want, so it's nice when it does work.

A stunning piece. Love the sense of movement and the super use of lost and found edges.

Thank you Romila and Seok for taking the time to look and comment.
