In this small painting, a honeybee gathers nectar from a clover flower—a quiet, familiar moment in nature. The softly blurred background hints at grassy surroundings, with greens touched by warm purples, soft whites, and beige.
Painted from a photo I took of one of our own bees, this piece combines realistic detail with loose brushwork to keep the scene natural and full of life.
It measures 4x4 inches and is painted in acrylic on a ¾" thick cradled hardboard panel. The edges are fully painted, and it’s ready to hang right out of the box, but you also could have it framed if you like.
If you would rather have a print, you can find it here.
