Appleblossom and Bees - watercolour

Just scraping in here with 'Focused' with a few hours of Friday left before the new word is posted! A botanical watercolour painting this time which has had me focused for several days. I've been using a magnifying glass to create this and definitely need to rest my eyes for a while!
