About the painting:  This painting is based on one of our many visits to the Outer Banks of NC with my family.  Standing on that sandy beach, a bank of clouds approached.  The light & sea changed color, and the storm just passed to the south of us, so we didn't have to rush to pack up our blanket & kid's sand toys.  

Foothills has found it's place

I love visiting my paintings in their new homes.

The Bee Hive is Occupied


I was commissioned to paint the front panel of this new beehive for friends.  I was thrilled to hear that my friend S. was on her way home with approximately 20,000 bees, all in cardboard boxes on the backseat of her car.  I got to hear about how heavy the box was, and how it felt warm to the touch.  I couldn't wait to come see the bees in their new home.

I've been told that the bees like having the painting on their hive.  It helps them find their way home.  They apparently are loving the magnolia blossoms nearby and beat a steady path back and forth all day.  I looks forward to trying some of their honey.

Bees


I received a commission to paint a front panel of a new beehive.  The hive belongs to friends, and I'm looking forward to visiting their new bees.  The view depicted is from their house, of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

The panel, albeit a bit crooked & blurry & with a fair amount of glare:


I'll post more photos later, of the beehive in it's new location, with the new occupants.  
Two canvases, side by side.  On left Maymont (sold), on the right is Lower Orchard.  
Both measure 20"x 20" and are oil on canvas.

Framing



I'm exploring framing options for the 6"x6" panels.  These sit beautifully on the wall & complement the paintings well.
