The Bee and The Sun: book
Winner of the Holyer an Gof award for poetry 2022
“In her delightful and winsome book, artist Catherine Hyde follows the journey of the buff-tailed bee and the golden sun through the seasons. Blending beautifully vibrant paintings with the written word, this gorgeous calendar of art celebrates the magic of nature, as well as the sensory delights and etymology of herbs.”
Picture This, Daily Mail 27 January 2022: Lilly Subbotin
‘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’
‘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.’
