'Bee on Linden Tree Blossom'

 

'Bee on Linden tree blossom' - George Roberts Digital Art - June 2024.

In bright Sicilian sunlight, the perfumed blossom on Linden trees lining the streets in Giardini Naxos, were alive with bees going about their honey sweet business.

Engaging pictures sometime arise spontaneously created by 'happy accidents'.  On the other hand, trees have taken millions of years to evolve and become the magnificent bits of life that they are.

‘Three palms and a building’ George Roberts June 2024. Watercolour and pencil sketch on paper.

Sometimes I am intrigued by buildings that ‘nestle’ in the landscape giving no hint to their purpose or occupation. Probably I shall never know who or what calls this shelter home!

Old Moon in the arms of the New.

 

No Aurora but a lovely crescent Moon above the fields.

A lovely crescent Moon in May, seen across the fields in Suffolk. The summer night sky can be so very beautiful if you go to a dark location and take the time to look!

- surreal digital imagery - George Roberts April 2024

I really should stop messing around with fractals and astronomy in the digital domain. 

This year, I must get back to doing some serious analogue drawing, printing and painting because once I get the turps out I really enjoy it.. The modern world is just so full of easy-peasy distractions!  Having said that I reckon Max Ernst would have loved Mandel Bulb software and 'pooters' in general.
