Humble Bumble
The artwork features a vibrant depiction of a bumblebee in mid-flight approaching a large, richly colored blue flower. The flower's petals are bold and textured, with deep blue and hints of purple, creating a striking contrast against the background. The bee is rendered with distinct yellow and black stripes, showcasing a sense of movement and life. The background blends shades of pink, gray, and dark tones, adding depth and a dynamic, almost abstract atmosphere to the piece. The overall composition focuses on the interaction between the bee and the flower, highlighting the beauty of nature with an expressive and lively use of color and texture.
This piece was one of 23 felted artworks in Vicki’s three-month solo exhibition at the Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery.
