Did u know? We’ve all heard of the nonsense poem, The Owl & the Pussycat, by Edward Lear, but what is not so well known about him is that he was also a superb wildlife artist. Look at these beautiful toucan & macaw watercolours. He’s one of my total fave artists. 🐡🐙🪲#edwardlear

There was an Old Man in a tree,
Who was horribly bored by a bee.
When they said "Does it buzz?"
He replied "Yes, it does!
It's a regular brute of a bee!"

Sadly, Lear’s painting and lithographing career was curtailed by eyestrain, he continued to paint but landscapes which didn’t require the precision.
