"Budding Naturalist"
Available on Every Day Original (here: https://everydayoriginal.com/product/buddingnaturalist/)
This fine (sparsely-feathered) fellow wants nothing more in life than to catalogue the blossoms of his apple trees and be a friend to all pollinators (not just the bees). -
Inspired by a turkey vulture swooping around happily outside my studio window, by renewed life in spring after long winter, and by the joy of taking in fresh air.
Painted in watercolor, gouache and colored pencil on 140lb Arches hot press paper. Accented with genuine gold leaf and framed. The frame is embellished (by the artist) with a hand-painted bee. (If you see this painting with a different name on the EDO social media, it's because I changed my mind about the title literally yesterday. APOLOGIES FOR ANY CONFUSION)
