The bees seem undaunted by the heat as they buzz through the garden - and I'm happy to paint them in miniature! This paper is buttery soft, and if I press too hard on the nib of my fountain pen, I could damage the surface. I'm using a little Ocean Blue ink by Robert Oster at the edge, and a bright pink by Diamine to punch the watercolors a bit. This is the only petunia I planted this year, after many years of not planting them. I think this bed may be a little too hot, but the beesdon't mind. Painting number 4994 in 4994 days.
