The inspiration for this painting comes from the pmp-art site. Photographer Paul Sherman posted the reference that I could no longer ignore. I hope to have this in the Valley Art Gallery for the spring show.
The feeling of sunshine is wonderful, Kaethe. I really like the way you've rendered the light on the petals, and how the bee is "tucked" right into the flower. I can almost hear that hum of industrious contentment!
The variety of purples in the petals are a wonderful lesson all on their own. WOW! And the little reflected light on the underside of the bee is exquisite.
