Bumblebee & Bluebells Original Painting
Bumblebee & Bluebells Original Painting
Couldn't load pickup availability
Painted with acrylic on stretched canvas in 3.5 hours during the 2024 We.Create Art Battle. Thank you Talking Walls for the invite!
I initially wanted to paint a California bumblebee (Bombus californicus), but during the art battle and afterwards, it sort of morphed into a Suckley’s cuckoo bumblebee (Bombus suckleyi). The latter showed more golden yellow markings, and I wanted to portray more of that color to compliment the bluebells.
Either way, both bumble bees are attracted to blue flowers so I chose to paint the California Bluebell (Phacelia campanularia). The flowers usually have lighter, more dignified anthers, but making them into cute little orange bubbles kinda felt like the right thing to do in the moment haha I’m learning to not be so hard on myself when it’s not entirely scientifically accurate. With more practice (and time), I know it can be.
Dimensions: 5' x 4'
Can be picked up or delivered locally in the Monterey County Area. To ship, I will take it off its stretcher bars, carefully roll, protect, package and ship it in a sturdy tube/box.
