This was another day of hard work in the garden, trying to stay in the shade as the heat index rose to triple digits. At nearly day's end, I was in the process of painting these sweet petunias when a sudden downpour beat their delicate petals down and chased off all the insects! Ducking for cover, it soon passed and I could finish, even though my models were dropping considerably! I did put the little bumble bee in - even though one of his brothers stung my leg in the kitchen garden earlier! First bumble sting I've gotten, and yes it feels like fire for probably 30 seconds! I think we have a hive back there, and I just got too close! Painting number 2754 in 2754 days.
Your sketch of the petunias is lovely. The bumble bee makes the painting hum. :)! Have a good week.
