Our pear tree is in bloom. It is mad with all sizes of bees. I smash my easel right up beside them to get a close up view. There are clusters of buds and blossoms as this is the first day they are in bloom. I have decided that because I am aiming for the romantic feel of flowers I am going to start titling them like romance novels.
This painting started with a deep green base and has a Gothic feeling about it. There were lots of bees to paint which made me very happy. I watched them and recorded their flight paths and where they landed on the blossoms. I did a lot of smearing and trailing though wet paint.
