Bombus terrestris hand finished by louise mcnaught
Bombus terrestris sees louise mcnaught take on the bumblee bee a member of the bee genus bombus in her unmissable and incredible style and flare in the artists own words mcnaught has elevated the status of the bee by painting it much larger than it is in real life giving it an almost god like status to draw attention to the importance of these pollinators but at the same time i am highlighting its fragility and dwindling numbers as it is partially starting to disappear into the ether
