Bee Life I

If you know me, you know bees are a big deal, around here. I hope you enjoy this piece. The translucence of the wings is such a mystery to me. But I paint what I see from the subject photos I fall in love with. They just work themselves out and sometimes leave me speechless...

"I like pulling on a baggy bee suit, forgetting myself and getting as close to the bees' lives as they will let me, remembering in the process that there is more to life than the merely human." ~ Sue Hubbell
