To-BEE,-or-not-To-BEE....jpg

Mostly just an excuse to blow steam.
There are 2 giant black bees that were painted into the piece while still alive, but slowly dying.

While at a park I found these 2 giant black bees that were injured, and dying.
So, I stuck them to my painting's surface, and painted them into the texture with globs of varnish.

Mixed media piece.
includes human hair shavings, dirt, varnish, water-color, acrylic, ink, charcoal.
and live insects.

Great painting Toby. I can't wait to see the final Magnus painting.

Live bees, huh..?

Seems weird and morbid and yet I applaud it. So, what does that make me? Anyway...great piece. Very...I don't know...visceral? All your work is.
