Bee imagery, stories, skeps, curtained little scenes, skeleton keys dangling on ribbon, bees flying away from her hive to the others, the ones high in the trees! <\/p>\n

\n I have been working on the details of this piece for some time now, and it’s finally complete and I am happy with it so far. I think it has inspired a whole series, as my sketchbooks are full of various compositions such as this one. <\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

\nHoney Bee Stories<\/i> is now available as a print in my shop.<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThe original is 16″ by 20″ on an ampersand panel and it’s completed in acrylics and paper. There’s so many little areas of story going on here (besides the fact that it is curtained in a theater-like manner). I wanted the whole painting to be golden (and slightly antique in appearance), like transparent honey.<\/p>\n

\nIt’s hard to see all the details in my low resolution scan, so here are the snippets, the areas of story…<\/p>\n

\nI matted a print and framed it with an antique frame I had been saving.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

\nI just love to add little details.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

\nI forgot how much I enjoy painting like this- small images and mysterious things going about in a larger, narrative painting. This piece was definitely an offshoot of a piece created two summers ago.<\/a> Today will be spent in my cool studio room (thank goodness its too hot here to go outside midday!) sketching and working through the beginnings of another painting.<\/p>\n

\nHave a great day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
