little bee
figurative pastel by Maria Paterson, 1m x 70cm
pastel on colourfix paper
FEATURED IN CONTEMPORARY PASTELS
FEATURED IN IMPRESSIONIST ART
The circus as a subject has provided me opportunities to explore the human condition. By studying the gestures and theatre of the human performance, I have discovered many symbolic references. In this work “little bee” , the element of trust, striving to reach out, bravery, and the freedom to try, come to the surface, perhaps the changing face of families. The little bee may be carrying those seeds of change

WOW! Now that’s what I call action!!! The size difference is fun and lively and the bee adds so much interest to this – lots of “what iffs” come to mind! I love this one!!!
maria paterson replied
thankyou maxy, it certainly was awe inspiring watching a girl of this size leap off a platform high in the area, i found the bee later when i uploaded the image, must of been just passing by, im glad you like it,

Fabulous work maria. It’s got wonderful suspense and the colours in the sky are great. I’m a little unsure what that object to the left is?
