tree man planted and the bee is finished

Brilliant love the tree man, your art work is fantastic, love how you get your paintings to look so lifelike. You really are a very talented artist in many ways. \;O)

You`ve excelled yourself again Leigh ... Brilliant.

Wonderful bee, looks as though its about to take off from the page.

Leigh that bee is amazing...love the plant in tree mans mouth..just in tome for Halloween...

thank you I like them too x .

so that's what all the buzz is about !

brilliant Leigh both are wonderful works of art.

very good sb and thanx again . the lady I drew it for thought it was the photo and loves the bee too x .

its always Halloween for me Sandra lol x . I hope your daughters doing well .

Your poor tree man is not well Nosey, think he should see the doc ! Lol He is brilliant really and that Bee is just incredible. x

thanx gm x

Wow! I have a Green Man (purchased) in our garden but I prefer your Tree Man.

Is that concrete?

NP that bee picture is actually 3-D! Its amazing. You are every bit as good as David Shepherd and I hope one day you will get the recognition you deserve. Google Wildlife Art exhibitions if you haven't already - there may be an opportunity go get more widely known.

wow thanx so much sg x ive always looked up to david shepherd .

yes it is concrete eirlys but people do ask if I carved it out of wood lol .

I love the bee, Leigh! The way you paint texture is just wonderful - it is so furry and the essence of bee- ness! Tree man is amazing, I'm just not sure he's entirely comfortable!

no im not sure hes comfortable the way his mouth is open melch . im getting a lot of good things said about the bee . perhaps I should broaden my drawing horizans even more x .

you do such brilliant work! I can only look and envy you your talent. love both pieces.

thanx fran

Perhaps you should, Leigh. I bet you'd do wonderful flower pictures, though they may not appeal to you.

well I think I will as I enjoy the change melch

Go for it, Leigh!

Wow wow wow! How amazing is your bee. Your creative juices are flowing, as ever. Just showed my arty daughter and she was amazed.

cool yes im back on form I hope I inspire her dawn x .

the medium for the drawing is pastel and watercolour pencil hb x .

Hi Np, the bee painting looks as though it's a close up photograph, it's so realistic, not a hair out of place, and the tree man really does look as if it's carved from the tree trunk, amazing, Derek.

thank you derek
