11″x14″ Original Artwork, Watercolor on Paper
I found this bumblebee, squashed in a YMCA parking lot. Everything stopped for me as I considered if this was a subject worth documenting. Painting the now visible insides was rewarding and set the tone for the entire Insect Death Portrait project. For me, this is still one of my most significant pieces and a reminder that when art calls, it is worthwhile to follow.
