Description
Bees feast on the nectar of tiny lavender flowers within a banana trees flower bulb which will eventually become bananas. Okay...that is essentially a brief description of this painting.
It actually was a cathartic painting. I had been going through a painful time and was not only physically unwell but emotionally wounded, too. I often turn to my painting when I need to heal. I was in my backyard admiring the beautiful flowers and bulbs on my banana trees, when it began to softly rain. That seemed to mimic my mood. I was intrigued by the bees scurrying through and around the flowers. As I watched them, I noticed that one of them was missing a leg. It was wounded. It didn't seem to hamper it. She continued to be as busy as...well...yes, I will say it...as busy as a bee. I thought that in some ways, the bees weren't exactly beautiful but then again...they were actually quite beautiful. It all had to do with your attitude and the way that you looked at them.
Of course, there is the sexy components of the flowers with the obvious symbols. That appealed to me. They all had to do with my feelings at the time. I even painted this in a phallic format since the painting is rather tall and narrow.
I felt much better after expressing my feelings in this way.
