A flat photo of the black, white, and copper honeybee drawing on tan paper. The honeybee has landed in the center of a white coneflower head. The petals of the coneflower are soft and velvety. The honeybee has two relaxed, transparent wings attaching to its fuzzy thorax. Its glossy black eyes are focused on the flower, with its antenna pointed down. Behind the bee you can see a hint of its striped rear-end. Above the bee and flower is a solid copper sun with sunbeams.

Having a honey bee colony has been on my bucket list possibly since Chuck Charles had her rooftop hives on Pushing Daisies. I have yet to make any progress on said beekeeping desires, but if there was ever a place to do it, it would be in North Carolina (where the western honey bee is our state insect). Did y’all know that bees have five eyes? Honey bees also use dancing to pass on direction, distance, and quality of nectar sources to others in their hive. ⁣Get your shake, waggle, and loop on with this art print!

The

Fauna Collection

This collection of beautiful 4×6″ charcoal pencil and linoprint originals were created in the month of October as a meditation on the diversity of nature found in our back yards. Following prompts from the Wild October draw list, many of the creatures featured are characters in my own life story. Now it’s time for them to have a place in your home.

Chippy — Original Charcoal DrawingA photograph of a black and white charcoal drawing on tan paper.

The artwork is hanging on a brown wall behind a glass jar filled with three charcoal pencils and 3 rolls of black and white washi tape on a grey shelf.A flat photo of the black, white, and copper coyote drawing on tan paper. The coyote is standing, facing to the right. Its right front paw is curled under it as it throws its head up, mouth open, eyes closed, ears tucked against its head, teeth bared in a howl. White fur trails down its neck and chest, while the rest of its body is black and white flecked. The phases of the moon are floating in an arc above the coyote: crescent moon, half moon, full moon, then back to half moon and crescent moon. The moon are solid copper. Under the coyote floats a solid circular sun with sun beams spiking out of it.Opportunity Call — Art Print
