Bee Balm
14 x 11
Acrylic on canvas
"Bee Balm" is an 14" x 11" acrylic painting done on canvas at a fellow artist's estate. The color of the flowers prove a wonderful complement against the greens of the landscape....the piece of dead wood directs the viewer's eye diagonally into the painting and the greens of the foliage lead to the alizarin colors of the bee balm. The mist in the background over the Fishing Creek Stream adds to the depth of the painting. "Bee Balm" was done plein air on a wonderful cool morning in Marysville, Pennsylvania.

This is a terrific painting, Pat. I always grow Bee Balm in my garden because I love that it attracts hummingbirds, the hummingbird moth, bees and a variety of butterflies. Your painting really makes me think of Summer - a very nice thought indeed!
Thanks, Claire. I'm going to have to put some in around our house...love those hummingbirds and butterflies.
My Bee Balm attracts bees of all things.
I love this painting, Pat- The simplistic mix of realism and the abstract.
Love the colors, very nice.
I love the abstract qualities of this work, Pat..
Gosh, Pat. Yet another beautiful plein aire piece. I love the subtleness of the flowers. Makes me keep coming back to look and drink in this delightful painting!
