Delft Blue honeybee on a butterfly bush – kintsugi and Van Gogh lines

by Elianne van Turennout

A honeybee on a cluster of purple-blue butterfly bush flowers, but rendered in a Delft blue style. Its body resembles white porcelain with delicate cobalt blue motifs, whilst the golden eyes, legs and wing details lend the image an extra touch of refinement. This gives this macro photograph a sense of preciousness: small in size, but grand in appearance.

The honeybee is one of the best-known and most important pollinators. Its porcelain body features a cobalt-blue interpretation of a Van Gogh sketch. The soft shades of purple from the butterfly bush provide a beautiful contrast to the porcelain and the warm gold.

This nature photograph is a great choice for anyone looking for honeybee wall art, Delft blue art, macro photography of insects, a butterfly bush on the wall, bee art, botanical wall art or blue-and-white nature art.

This photograph of a Delft-blue honeybee looks lovely as a photo print, but also works well on canvas, aluminium Dibond or acrylic glass. A unique piece of art for a living room, hall, study, practice room or stylish interior. Particularly in a space where nature is allowed to be expressed in a refined, delicate and precious way.
