Last month I was at Catiri's in Amana doing a painting demo and a customer from Texas asked if I had any bumblebee paintings. I told him I have never painted a bee, instead he ended up purchasing one of my Ladybug paintings that day.
But what a great idea! So thank you to the Texas customer- a new series is born- the Bumblebee Series. Here is the underpainting of the first little guy, waiting to be turned into a Divisionism (Pointillism) painting. Next time he comes to Catiri's, I hope to have several bees ready for him to choose from.

Did you get his name? I'm sure he would be interested as soon as this little guy is done!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary- I don't have the customer's name, but I know Catiri's will have it on their computer system- will ask them to contact him once this little guy is finished and dry. If I remember correctly, the ladybug painting of mine he purchased had this same Phthalo blue used in the background- so it would be very compatible if hung together as a grouping.
