In this miniature painting, I depict a honeybee approaching a vibrant red poppy, her feet extended in preparation for landing. Measuring 4x4 inches on a ¾” thick cradled hardboard, this piece features a deep evergreen background that beautifully contrasts with the bold color of the flower.
The soft, flowing brushstrokes create a sense of movement, capturing the dynamic moment before the bee touches down. As you admire this scene, consider that honeybees are responsible for pollinating about one-third of the food we eat, making their role in our ecosystem truly invaluable.
Ready to hang, this artwork brings a splash of color and life to any space. I hope it resonates with you, just as the joy of creating it filled my heart.
