The plum tree is blossoming. There are lots different types of bees, big fat bumble bees, medium dusty yellow and brown bees and then thin narrow bees. I want an identification book on bees. I paint them but they are trickier that the stationary blossoms. I am a bit nervous as so many land on me and sadly on my pallet.
I am painting the shapes of the blossom clusters and only gesturing at individual flowers. The dark purple branch weights the painting as the rest is lacy and floating. The background is a sample color of bright spring green of the grasses below the tree.

| Oona is home from school sick so I make a bed for her on the desk. She reads Calvin and Hobbs and I paint. |
