Bee on Flower - Intarsia

[FrankEV]

This 11”x17” piece is my version of a scene that has been done by many in the past.  The basis for the pattern was a free coloring book page that I adapted to create the two-level art panel. The Flower and the Bee are two separate patterns with only the Bee being affixed to the flower after all cutting and shaping is completed.  The dimples in the flower center are highlighted with orange paint.   The mitered frame rails are 3/4” wide.  Wood Used: Aspen, Osage Orange, Poplar, Roasted Birch, Wenge, Ebonized Walnut for the Frame, and the extended Backer is painted 1/4" BB Ply.  The completed assembly was protected with multiple coats of clear Semi-Gloss Lacquer.

Comments and Critiques always welcome.

As usual, I will Post the pattern in Pattern Exchange
