Romantic Botanicals #17

Dangling Enticements

The bumble bees are huge. I stop painting and just watch them when they come to drink the blossom nectar. Sometimes there are three at once. These are the Crab Apple tree blossoms. They make little red apples that a friend picks and makes into red yummy jelly.

I am continuing the birthday party colours to make a celebration mood. I made the colours vibrant to emulate the sunny day. I like the central branch that leads you down down down then just dangles you there. I like the Bee's dimensional circling path.
