bees :)
[ID: Two digital drawings of bees with plants. Both are transparent images. Image 1: A blue orchard mason bee,Osmia lignaria,atop a wild geranium. There are two pink flowers emerging from the stem, and four leaves below them. Image 2: A common eastern bumblebee,Bombus impatiens,curled up under a brown autumn leaf. It’s surrounded by a white border. End ID].
“Lisianthus Dream” is finally finished and will be staying with me forever as it holds an immense amount of personal symbolism: breaking points, late summer fecundity, the hexagon dimension, finding my true north on a mountain, dissolving road blocks, falling in love, piercing the veil.

“Electron Constellation”, oil on wood, 10x10
I love continually playing with the macro / microcosm and I see the bees I’ve been painting as like little island planets with their own contained ecosystems and landscapes. I got really stuck halfway through this one and didn’t know where to take it. On a road trip returning from Lake Chelan last month I was driving into the sunset and saw ever stunning and beautifully mysterious lenticular clouds over Mount Rainier. It was just the thing I needed to complete the composition. The continual conversation between nature and painting practice is a never-ending scavenger hunt!

I think this sedate painting is still my most controversial piece . People either loved the bees’ lacy wings or were freaked out by their big bug eyes. It’s a medium-sized watercolor, so of course the bees are larger than life, but not THAT overwhelming.
What is your most controversial work?
