In this painting Bearded Beauty I show the bloom from a bee's point of view. The zebra stripes of the petals help guide the bee in towards the pollen not unlike the way that aviation lines at an airport guide a flying craft into position for a safe landing. However, in this case, the flower relies on the pollinator to continue the species well into the future.

Painted on a gallery wrap canvas, this oil painting continues around the nearly 2" deep edge and adds dimension to the piece. The artist uses archival quality materials and a UV coating finish for lasting impressions. This painting is custom framed in a deep, custom floater that reveals the edges of the painting and is wired, ready to hang in your home or office.

The Editors of West Virginia Living Magazine featured this painting, Bearded Beauty in their Spring 2023 issue.
