Description
Honey Bees on Poinsettia, logo are created for The ARTIST BUZZz group for December 2021. The group has my permission to use this as a logo for the group.
I combined a prismacolor pencil drawing of a honey bee with a colored pencil (mixed types of pencils) of a beautiful red-orange poinsettia to create a logo for the month of December for the group The ARTIST BUZZz. This was layered in Photoshop, and I used the font Bermuda Squiggles to set the type, then used a type manipulator in Photoshop to stretch it into an arc.
Update - after working on a different drawing of a bee, I moved the first bee and added the second bee - they're having a BUZZz there, head to head!
I entered this in a contest by the group The ARTIST BUZzz and participated in the discussion in the contest that required a haiku about the art - here's what I wrote:
Bees buzz, petals bloom
How sweet, peaceful and perfect!
Bloom where you’re planted!
SECOND PLACE TIED WINNER in the KTBUZzz-COLLAGE VISION BOARDZzz and Haikus Contest, January 2022

Conni, this is such a beautiful 2021 retrospective piece; THANK YOU for the HAIKU! More than a contest entry, it serves as one tangible reminder of the MANY invisible reminders I will carry in my heArt from 2021 and all of your encouragement, behind-the-scenes work and guidance you gave me …in launching The ARTIST BUZzz and …still give to me in moderating two threads in it!! BEST to you!

Thanks, Laurel, I was pleased and proud to provide the group logo for December 2021 - what fun to see what other members have produced to be our logo in the past few months and through 2022!

Dear Conni, many thanks to you, Moderator for topics: #3-Techniques & #5-Transitions for rendering your Colour Pencil painting Group Logo which represented the last few days of NOVEMBER into DECEMBER 2021; it has now transitioned to JANUARY 2022’s logo.

Thanks so much, Marsha! Two bees is the result of Laurel nagging me to add both the bees I had done for other art - LOL! She's very persuasive!
