Bee in Mustard

A bee settles into a single flower, unhurried, doing the quiet work that keeps a garden going.

The bee came last: the piece started as a study of a single bloom, and the bee was only added once the flower already felt complete.

Every piece in the Animals collection follows the same process: it starts as a study of real movement and form, sketching posture and weight before any colour is chosen, then the drawing is pared back into bold, flat shapes with confident black linework, in the spirit of vintage travel posters and mid-century folk illustration. The palette of warm mustard, burnt terracotta, ink black and sun-bleached cream was chosen to feel like late-afternoon light: warm and grounded rather than sharp or synthetic.

Giclée printed in London with archival, fade-resistant inks on 200gsm matte paper (0.26 mm thick), with a smooth, non-reflective finish. The paper is FSC-certified or equivalent.
