Worked a little bit on the honey painting today (had icky chores that prevented my working on it a lot). Am in that phase of looking more closely at everything, started each part of the painting as though it were a little painting in its own right. There’s so much happening in the still life, such nuanced changes of color, subtle shadows, colors I cannot identify. There’s such an amount of potential stuff that it’s rather mind-boggling.
For some reason, I feel as though I forgot how to paint. Or like I must relearn it. Well, it’s none the less delightful for having become strange again.
The little honey pot has a bee and honey comb design on it. Am struggling with that. Right now the honey pot is winning, but it’s early in the fight. Wish me luck!

keep working! I love the bee on top, economy of strokes, very sumi-e, in yellow.
I will, am just getting warmed up (and trying hard not to eat all the honey).
I really love this – scrumptious yellowness.
Yellow is a wonderful color, isn’t it? Like the sun (what the bees like!).
