High Tea
High Tea 5"x7" watercolor on paper
I have had quite a few tea parties, and enjoy a ritual of tea every day - often more than twice! - and so I know precisely how my little mouse friend feels. Here is her miniature accompanying story:
Celia Mousekins has a great fondness for two treats, sugar cubes and Earl Grey tea. Here she has combined the two pleasures in one, and gives it a stir, as she enjoys a mouse sized version of High Tea.
The Flight of the Bumblebee 6"x8" watercolor on paper
A vintage-inspired illustration styled after the naturalists studies of old.This painting is a scientific illustration and study of the bumblebee (bombus)
Featuring the species:
- White-Tailed Bumblebee (Bombus lucorum),
- Red Tailed Bumblebee (Bombus lapidarius)
- and the Early Bumblebee (Bombus pratorum)
I am a nature lover through and through, and my affections towards naturalists is just additional proof of my being born in the wrong century.
I’ve always felt that bumblebees are happy little things, and I have even had the honor of petting one or two on occasion! They are indeed busy bees and pleasant in their work. Their delicate wings are so delicate and intricate that I continue to be in awe of them.
The busy bee in me certainly admires the diligent little bumblebee.

2016 Calendar: Year at a Glance
Lots of exciting things have been taking place around here! And now I am happy to introduce a new product I’ve been wanting to finish for ages…
A year at a glance calendar!
I just love how the single print holds all of the days in a year, and it will serve as a piece of art until the new year comes (or hang on to it and continue to enjoy it into the new year!)
I’ve listed it in the shop and it’s just in time to make perfect present at Christmas!
P.S. As I was building this, I discovered a fun little fact: twenty sixteen has 366 days due to a sneaky little leap year! I’m already planning on having a miniature party to celebrate that phenomenon, because after all, February 29th’s a rare little ‘fella!
