Russian Artist Elena Limkina Reveals Her Mysterious Sketchbook To The World, And It’s Full Of Visual Secrets.

If you’ve got an old soul, you’ll be enamored by the delightfully old-fashioned work of Moscow-based artist Elena Limkina. Every week, she offers the world a glimpse into her personal sketchbook, and its pages tell vivid stories of nature, architecture, and classical paintings.

ThoughLimkina specializes in watercolour materials, she’s also very handy with a dip pen, and uses both to bring shadows and luminosity, respectively, to various botanical and scientific illustrations. “I have been painting since childhood,” she writes on her official website. “I’ve been studying medical engineering, but my passion for fine arts has taken precedence.” A wide variety of influences have clearly come to bear on her style, such as Baroque, Renaissance, and perhaps a touch of modernism; her flower paintings wouldn’t look out of place in the portfolio of Georgia O'Keefe.

Sam Droege is Official Photographer of US Bees

Sam Droege tracks bees for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).  This work has become vital as bee populations have declined due to colony collapse.   The work of Sam Droege and his colleagues has produced these extraordinary pictures of bees and other insects.   Far from being fearsome these bees and insects become magical when viewed so close.  They shine and shimmer, revealing delicate limbs and antennae.   Sam Droege explains that, 

Once you blow [the bees] up to the size of a German shepherd and they have good hair, people start paying attention,” he says. “They’re like aliens from another world.VIA
