Oh, Jill, it's amazing!!! You've caught that quality of a petal to refract light in each cell and the "visitor" is exquisite!! I can't wait to see it in person!

Everyone, click on "all sizes" and look at it big!!!!

That has to be the best looking Bee i have ever seen! The Hydrangea petal is magnificent with the variation and depth of colour! It must take a long time to work in coloured pencil to that degree of glowing colour. Brava!

Beautiful job Jill! I love the variation of color you achieved in the petals, and the translucency of the wings of the bee. Thanks for sharing it.
