One a Week: 27

After dressing up as a bee for a costume party this weekend, it's only natural that I am now back on the subject... When I first put on the costume I started acting like a bee with a surprising amount of accuracy and detail. Just ask my children/flowers. I thoroughly embarrassed my husband but he proceeded to share the video he took with friends.

Quentin Blake, the amazing illustrator, apparently acts out his characters before he draws them. I can now say that I think the method works!

This is the start to a series of small bee watercolor paintings (all 3 x 3 inches) that I began this week in preparation for a few upcoming shows in June (Sweet Mabel in Narberth & Arts in the Park in Elkins Park on June 5).

I posted a picture of me as a bee in caricature on Facebook. But I might need to show it to you in person, Deborah.
As for the video, I am not sure if that will see the light of day. It's on my husband's phone complete with him commenting, "This is such a nightmare. "
