While painting this bee today, I pondered on what precious little creatures bees are. The title "The Humble Bee" popped into my head for some reason so I googled it and found it is the title of a poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson.You can read it here.
Thank you all for your comments! I hadn't paid much attention to bees prior to painting this, other than to appreciate what they do for the planet and to give them a wide berth when I have come across them in the yard. But as I painted this little guy, I felt so much affection for him with his round, furry little body and compete focus on his flower. I can hardly wait to see more this spring!
love it! hope this is a sign that spring has sprung!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love bees! I have a little bee necklace because I love them so much.
ReplyDeleteNice spring flower.
ReplyDeleteI don't normally think of honeybees as cute, but this, this is cute. :)
