Romantic Botanicals #8

Velvet bee Thang

It is Saturday and I have lots of time to paint. It is the perfect temperature. The pear blossoms are at their maximum bloomage. It is sunny with bees and I didn't read late into the night so I am fresh to the canvas.

I love the crowded bud area pushing up at the top of the painting and the two bees pushing thorough the air in the middle of the piece. I continue the Gothic romance theme with the dark velvety green in the back ground and bright soft petals at the fore as the bees do their bee thing.
