Romantic Botanicals #45

Miss Beatrice goes to School

Two of my kids are sick. My son has a fever of 99.4 so I have the phone in my pocket while I paint and they call me in every 20 minutes to get water, find books etc. I try to paint fast but the 27 degree heat slows me up a bit.

The chives on either side of our small garden path form a small arch. I paint the bees that land at the edges of the arch to delineate the exciting path ahead.
