Ivy through the window

with 4 comments

A few work in progress scans of my current drawing. This time it’s the lower half of the dining room window, with the flowering ivy. If you look closely, there are some honey bees, huge numbers of which come every year to feed on the flowers. If you click the thumbnails you can see close-ups of the drawing.

And here are a few other views and a close-up on the right in which you can see the stipping, and probably also the bees:
