Busy Bees at Ashcombe Farms by Daily Painter of Pennsylvania Mary Beth Brath

Busy Bees by Mary Beth Brath
8x10" Acrylic on Canvas
 
The title is so fitting. On Thursday several members of our local plein air group met to paint at a local nursery. The sunflowers were covered with bees working feverishly to complete their purpose. I was having similar feelings with the Daily Painters of Pennsylvania NYC reception just 2 days away.
 
I was distracted.  The painting was not completed on site even though I had plenty of time to finish. I finished the painting today in my home studio.
 
By the way, the opening reception on Saturday was incredible. All of the work was very well received and several guests were taking pictures of the artwork and the attending members. Many contacts were made and business cards exchanged. New friendships were made. Ideas shared. Posts about the day will appear soon for everyone to see. I hope each attending member will write about their experience.

This painting turned out great--one of my favorites-wonderful comlementary color contrasts-very sculptural.

I like the bees against the strong golden colors.
