Such a bright little eye, watching you. And those teeny toothpick legs. I painted from a reference photo shared by Denise McQuillan. Available here.

painting: thistle and bee

I’m still on a little bee kick. There are so many different kinds of bees–I don’t think I’ve painted the same kind twice. I especially like the fuzzy ones, but of course honey bees are special,, too. I don’t think I’ve painted a honey bee yet, though. I painted from a photo shared by Sue

painting: mama and foal

There’s such a positive vibe that comes from mama-and-me art. I usually move them right to the top of my must-paint list. 12″x12″ oil on stretched canvas. Available here. I painted from a photo shared by Roger Doomhammer. SOLD, Thank you!
