The Humble Bee

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.

  4. 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!
