The Bee Commission
From vebelfetzer.
It’s incredibly difficult to photograph shiny paintings, but here you
go. This is the centerpiece of the Bee Commission, effectively
bringing the project to a close. I think I’ll still do one more
piece, and then hold a show with all the paintings, sketches and
unpursued designs.
I’m about 75% pleased with this piece. There’s a sort of
tentativeness to it, and a stiffness, that I’m not proud of. And the
lighting is highly conventional. But I consider it an incredibly
successful lesson in painting, having basically taught myself to
paint in oils, starting from near-ignorance, with this one piece.
