buy "Alabama Magnolia with Bee" (acrylic painting, blossom, flower, nature, woods, bee, landscape, southern, alabama, art, decor) Acrylic on canvas, 7x7.

I happened to find myself in Alabama one day, and this magnolia tree found me. The lovely blossoms of the magnolia tree tend to include danger in the form of a potentially stinging bee. Beware but enjoy the beauty!

Hanging hardware included. Ready to display without a frame.

About my creative process: I'm inspired by subjects found in my daily life and by field trips into the wild and into the city. I love serendipity! I prefer to create my art in the studio from sketches and photographs. This is where I can concentrate, burn candles, and play music. I like to work with acrylic paint on canvas, watercolor on heavy, cold-pressed paper, and sometimes mixed media incorporating found objects. Images are composed from blended ideas, so I often make sketches and transfer them to canvas before painting begins. Due to diversions and responsibilities, I cyclically cast aside and revisit the artwork. Colors and shapes are layered during experimental sessions, shadows and highlights are added to clarify details, and much artistic license is incorporated according to whim until the artwork becomes a fully realized creation.

Thank you for looking. Happy shopping!
