Bumblebee - Ritta Henriques Jorge

A bumblebee seen from above fills the canvas, its furry body painted in thick bands of black and golden yellow. Its veined wings spread out in fine dark lines over a flower of coral red and rust, while patches of dusty blue and dabs of white and violet fill the ground around it.

Heavy, textured strokes build up the fur and petals, giving the bee an almost sculpted surface. Ritta Henriques Jorge is a Portuguese painter whose expressive work draws on emotion, femininity, nature and everyday life. Available as a poster or fine art canvas print in multiple sizes.
