A dog and a bee

bumble bee and Pete the Beagle dog

Continuing on the bee theme, now the bumble bee has landed on Pete the Beagle dog. He was sleeping, and opens one eye to see this bee.   A friend of mine asked me to illustrate a story she wrote. This is for that story. It was pure coincidence that this story has a bumble bee and my previous drawing was a bumble bee. Must be the muse hard at work.   Anyway, I had great fun with this. The nose, especially. If you look at it up close, you can see the texture of it.
