    :wave: I’m currently participating in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge on Facebook. Coming up with subject matter can be a large part of the daily challenge; Wetcanvas’s reference image library is sooooo very helpful with that! Thank you to coyotegal for “Bee on Cowpen Daisy”, the photo I referenced for this piece! A fun challenge and sufficiently difficult (especially the wings and tiny hairs)! What you cannot see in the photo is the Winsor & Newton Irredescent Medium on the wings-looks awesome in the painting! Hand drawn, watercolor (with only the addition of the irridescence), various brand artist-quality paints, tiny at about 4.75″ x 4.75″ on CP paper (not sure what brand).

                                All of a sudden I feel really cheerful. I think your painting did it! :lol:

                                As long as there is light, I will paint it.

                                        Beautiful! The bee is really well done. I participated in challenge like that years ago. It’s tough work but well worth it :)

                                        Thank you so much Johndk (I hope it was my painting that cheered you), Bertoni (Sweet :cat: ) and Arsinoé (Yes, doing a piece every day is truly a challenge-and I’m loving it)! I so much appreciate your wonderful comments and the encouragement! :heart:

                                        That’s right, I feel that too.
