My client in Beijing wanted a beautiful flower with a busy bee to remind her of wonderful memories of nature. I searched my neighbourhood for a white flower in May in Toowoomba and around the corner was an old Gordonia tree (also known as the fried egg flower because of it's likeness to fried eggs). The bees were busy. After completing this painting, to me it become a symbolic gesture to be like a bee, be passionate, be happy, be loving, be kind and be thoughtful. I wanted to also honour the important work bees and other pollinators do for their hive (by visiting around 2000 flowers to create just one teaspoon of honey) and for our very own food production. Without pollinators, most plants including food for humans would not be pollinated. My painting is my appreciation to bees and all pollinators.
