Bees in the flower beds

Hallo,

  Another in my 'Bees' series finished off this weekend. This painting is 11 by 14 inches. 

  I started this painting with a cyanotype print and mounted it to a cradled panel. I then painted it with encaustic - the flowers I used pan pastels on.

  The bees were taken from photos and printed onto tissue paper to use as an under drawing and then I painted them with encaustic using a fine tip hot pen.

  I am debating putting this one in a float frame but for now the sides are painted black.

   Have a great week!!!

Bee Buzz II to VI

Hallo,

  Finished off a few paintings in the studio today, including these 10 by 10 inch hexagon panels.

   These paintings all started off as cyanotype prints  which I mounted to the cradled panel. I then painted them with encaustic wax and used a bit of pan pastels also.

  There are 6 in this little series now with some bigger - regular shaped panels yet to come.

   Take Care

       Tera
