WET PAINT


I've been working on this painting for over a year actually started it last year but killed it - this is a big painting of a very little moment most people almost never see or watch and that with out we might not even be here - honey bees are dying out in massive numbers - what does that mean- for us, for plants, for food crops, for the future? Some day this painting will have a name but its along way from done just a few layers down now added the first of many backgound layers and a glaze on the flowers today


Cliff wanted to see abetter pic of this so here it is let me know what you think, again it's six feet by six feet oil on canvas and board.

It is the busiest fre station in the United States. - ah yes tell me about it !!!!
