Beehive and Honey Jar

The third of four in my WKJ Western Theme Designs and Theme Designs Patterns - American Indian Theme Design Patterns Series Collection of Symbol and Motif Design Patterns. The collection is a symbol and motif design pattern series of shapes with Microsoft Paint I discovered that could be created into symbol form of what it represent to me. This piece is composed of: symbols that represent a beehive and honey jar are within geometric squares in an alternating pattern; motif is flight of bee to and from hive within geometric diamonds; a geometric triangle design/border pattern; coloration resembles buckskin colors of gold and dark smoke; formlines complete this symbol and motif design pattern. Also the piece is signed with my “digital artist’s signature” and makers mark, WKJ letters - horse track symbol - my WKJ signature four petal flower of amber & coral design. For this form of digital art I used Microsoft Paint with mouse to create my artwork. Artist Note: WKJ American Indian Theme Design Patterns Series While I have not intended to reproduce nor recreate the traditional or a contemporary style of pictograph, motif, geometric, or color design in American Indian / Native American Art, there are similarities of the same of which I use to create my style of design pattern artworks. So I chose to title my design pattern series “American Indian Theme Design Patterns” for the ancestral and personal connection to their culture and as it is a reflection of my interest in and appreciation of their artwork. Digital Art / Pixel Art Note My WKJ style of Design Patterns is as like from life itself in the way that one may find perfection and imperfection, flawed and flawless within the design pattern as in life. I had purposely decided to make few or no correction of artifacts or line, as for me it resembled actual fabric, hide and stitching as well as adding dimension and character to the design pattern. Besides this, when My Dad and I would work on things together there always seemed to be an imperfection or flaw, no matter what measure or tool, in what we did when we were done. So we always said "that's our trademark". One may say I carry on "our trademark" to this day in my artwork.

Awesome.......

Artist Reply: Appreciate that, I was trying to depict the imagery of a hive and jar within diagonal squares along with depicting a bee’s flight to and fro around the hive within the triangles. Thanks, WKJ
