". . . a brush with nature"

This painting is about life . . . the bird(s) and the bees . . . life and death . . . and what happens in between. It is about working to create a meaningful, productive and fulfilled life in between the beginning and the end. Especially from the bees’ standpoint since they made the honey which then was used in the creation of the Mead. The bird is a bee-eater . . . well, you understand the rest of the story knowing that.

A lot happens for each of us between the beginning of our lives and the end. Some “happenings” are quite momentous, some take us by surprise. Sometimes something starts out small and seems quite inconsequential, but in the end, turns out to be life altering. It’s all life; it’s all happening around us each and every day, and we never know exactly what is going to happen until it does. It sure keeps things interesting.

I hope that you find joy and productivity in the things you choose to do while life is happening around you. Perhaps it will be sharing special time with someone you hold dear or maybe creating your next work of art. Whatever it is, enjoy the entirety of your life from beginning to end. Each new day really is a gift that is yours to unwrap.
