On the clean white of the paper stands a small white house with a brick-red roof and a tall chimney, and at its doorstep a bee in yellow-black stripes has paused — drawn with tenderness and a pinch of humor. The house floats on a soft, golden-yellow hill, above which large flowers in fuchsia and carmine drift, rendered in broad, translucent patches with lighter rays. A few muted, smoky orbs complete the scene, introducing a gentle counterpoint to the strong pinks. I keep the watercolor very light here — the wide white acts like air, and color appears only where it's truly needed.
A cheerful, story-telling piece for a child's room, dining room, or a bright reading nook.
