Artwork Description:

Title: Nature’s Jewel

Set against a backdrop of rich purple, blues and greens, this piece brings to life the intricate details of the bee’s iridescent wings. The play with light and shadow in the background creates a sort of mystical atmosphere which hopefully draws the viewer in, causing one to stop and admire this delicate and intricate creature.

Artist Bio:

Self-taught artist Anita Lester lives in South East England where she spends her time painting and home - educating her children. She spent her childhood and most of her teenage years on the island of Trinidad in the Caribbean. Her years there have massively influenced her work and style of painting. She works mostly in oils and acrylics but does the occasional work in watercolour and pencil.

Anita loves bringing a vibrancy to her paintings and really pays a lot of attention to colours even those that may seem subtle. She enjoys painting scenes from nature. Her hope is that when her audience engage with her work, they are encouraged to stop for a moment and observe the things around us that we may take for granted or just pass by.
