Bee Kind

The other day I finished another bee themed painting and I think she turned out really sweet (if I do say so myself). I painted her on a scrap piece of wooden plank that had been piled under my art desk for....forever, probably. This is "Bee Kind":

She's done in dark rustic shades of blue, green and cream with a big golden bee skep with teeny tiny little bees flitting around. I'm sure these are very friendly bees ;) I think she's the third in my series of bee paintings.


I'm putting the finishing touches on two small mother's day themed paintings today. As soon as they're done and dry, I will list them here for you to check out :) I think they're coming along very nicely and they're small, perfect for the mantle or a little shelf. Or where ever you'd like your mother's day art ;)



Anyhow....its a nice day here. Clear and sunny for the moment, with a breeze coming through the screen door. I think rain's coming in a bit though. I am so glad to see all the green coming back though, I don't mind the rain.

Hope you have a lovely day....

The colors are beautiful as is the wood medium (is that how you artists say it?)! Being an folk art lover, I think she's just beautiful. And I hope you are inspired to do a whole bee collection!
