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.

Are you thinking of selling copies of it?
Thanks so much for your comments. I'm glad you love it. I really enjoyed this commission.
To answer your question, I don't print copies of work. However, I sometimes do commissions, sometimes requests (no pressure to buy). I love bees, and my graduate thesis show was an entire show of bee paintings, so this little commission wasn't without precedence.
I was thinking that I'd love to do more bee hive panels. I paint on wood all the time in my studio work, so it's not much of a stretch. I just need to tap into the beekeeper community...
