Struggling today with my various Tourettes and ASD associated symptoms - IBS, flaring eczema, rampant ADHD and all that stuff.
We've been having more "Four seasons in one day" weather, and it was a brighter interlude that I got a decent capture of a buff tailed bumblebee feeding off bramble.
In one of my fits of inspiration this evening, I decided to try and do a watercolour of it. I really am no kind of painter whatsoever, and I've never found a way of doing it that works. For this attempt, I decided to outline the subject matter in fineliner pen, before filling in with watercolours from my travel paint set.
Not sure this has worked.
In a flying flap of creativity, I then doubled down and did a soft pastel version which I am much more happy with, happy in the sense of not wanting to throw it on a bonfire in the morning.
I suppose this is neurodiversity in manic action, I guess. I've started creating work relating to my Tourettes, but golly lolly gee, I won't be posting that here.

Sorry you are having a difficult time. The pastel drawing is very good I think. Before I retired I worked in a school for children with special needs and any form of art seemed to have a calming affect. The bee photo is very good. Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteYes the fuzzy drawing of the humble bumble bee is very good. I wonder if we love bumble bees for their furriness?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much both of you
ReplyDeleteI like your artworks, particularly the fuzzy drawing, which captures the nature of the bee so well
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased you like them!
