AMONGST THE CATNIP print

This print is August's image from The Bee and The Sun: A Calendar of Paintings by Catherine Hyde — winner of the Holyer an Gof Poetry Award 2022.

Catherine Hyde follows the journey of the bee and the sun through a calendar of glorious 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, snippets of ancient bee beliefs and plant folklore are complemented by paintings of wild thyme, saffron, meadowsweet, basil, mallow, lavender and many more delights.

August's herb is Catnip — and this image stars Smidge.
