Deb Stanley Art

I've always called the flower that the bee is visiting an allium, I've done a bit of research whilst trying to think of a title for this drawing and found it is called a Nectaroscordum sicutum...the common name is a Honey Garlic, a perfect name for this drawing!
There are now two videos of parts of this drawing on my youtube channel.

Second and final part of the bee and the alliums, showing the last flower and some of the background, I'll post the finished scanned image later.

Short video showing the top layers on part of the blurred background using just coloured pencils.

Nearly there ...

Back to the bee and alliums today, it's going to be another hot day here, so once the sun comes round to the window of my art room it'll be pencils down for a few hours until it cools again .... I do believe there is ice-cream in the freezer 😀

I have noticed things changing, on some devices I haven’t been able to share posts from my page onto my personal profile. This is something that I’ve done in the past because some friends..usually people who know me well and family tend to follow my work there rather than on my page. I thought sharing my page posts would help my page rating plus it’s quicker than typing up the same post again on my personal profile. It seems now that fb is moving the goal posts again, I wo...ndered about setting up a group but I’m not sure that will be of any benefit. I will keep this page updated but to stop it from disappearing from your feed you need to interact with it. Clicking ‘l I k e’ is not enough, clicking a sad face will give my page a bad score as will an angry face - fb doesn’t care if you are sympathising with someone, it just doesn’t like the negative reactions.... Have a read through the link, it’s interesting but I’m not sure where it’s going to leave us. https://theadminzone.com/…/upcoming-fac ebook-changes.1510…/…

Made a start on the allium flowers, I like drawings like this one where some are out of focus and others are crisp. I'll be working on this one at #thehopmarket arts event on Sunday.

Slow progress on the bee, I'm preparing for The Hopnarket event this weekend, I'm glad of the break that background made my wrist ache!

The other day I shared my cat during her happy moment, this is my spaniel, after this she decided to go for a splash in the muddy brook - can I have a new dog, this one is all dirty 🤣🤣🤣
