Next Saturday afternoon I will be back by the fireside in the lovely shop of delights that is Seven Fables to celebrate the publication of The Bee and The Sun. There will lots of copies of The Bee and The Sun and The Hare and The Moon.

Please join me there or phone to order a signed and dedicated copy.

‘Some of my earliest memories are of my mother’s garden, a paradise of herbs and flowers and the buzzing of bees and insects. I find the glorious aromas of freshly picked mint, rosemary and oregano powerfully nostalgic, and it fills me with pleasure to gather them now from my own wild-flower garden.

This collection of paintings is a celebration of my deep love for the cycles of the seasons and a dedication to the profound importance of the bee as a pollinator in our world.’

The Golden Hours Show

The Golden Hours show has gone live online for purchases rather earlier than expected – please follow the link below to view and buy from the collection at The Lighthouse Gallery:

The Golden Hours

2022 Calendar

After much dithering and uncertainty, I have put together a new calendar for 2022. This one is back to my original generously sized A3 version and I think it is going to look beautiful.

I am hoping that it will be available by the end of October so I have put it up for pre-order in my shop now.

September

I love September with its sweet sharp air, dusty with the scent of drying leaves.

My solo show ‘The Golden Hours’ at The Lighthouse Gallery in Penzance opens on the 6th of November so I am busy finishing work. Many of the paintings are from The Bee and The Sun and will be accompanied by a new collection of my signature creatures: stag, owl and hare, glorying in those mellow, liminal moments of the golden hours of the day.

“With all the power and erudition of an accomplished visual storyteller, Catherine will take gallery visitors on a journey through the seasons, celebrating the richness of the natural world as we stand on the cusp of the darkest months.”

‘My deep love for the cycles of the seasons inspires all my paintings and this book is a celebration of the profound importance of the bee as a pollinator in our world’

‘Catherine Hyde follows the journey of the bee and the sun in a calendar of glorious full colour paintings that celebrate the sensory delights of herbs, seasoned with bee and plant lore.From the rising and setting of the Pleiades, from sunrise to sunset, the bee and the sun work in harmony, a miracle of nature, growth and new life. Beneath the shifting constellations, equinoxes and solstice markers, as the bee progresses from plant to flower, acclaimed artist Catherine Hyde pays tribute to the magic and mystery of nature.

Snippets of ancient bee beliefs and plant folklore are complemented by paintings of wild thyme, saffron, meadow sweet, basil, mallow, lavender and many more delights. A book to treasure, and an ode to the wonder of nature.’

‘Ask the wild bee what the wise ones knew’
