BEES OF UKRAINE- updated

This is a re-paint of an old painting. An old, rather dreary self portrait that was just to experiment with. It is painted on a board which I don't think is exactly square. Ah-ha Malevich's out-of-

square white square !! But it is a heart felt homage to courage. Amazing courage. Of bees and those people in Ukraine. I worked on this painting some more. The larger bee works better in the composition.

UKRAINE'S SUNFLOWERS AND BLUESKY

The courage of the Ukrainians resisting that brutal dictator doesn't make sense. What a surprise.Ubiquitous sunflowers have become a stirring symbol of freedom.

MONARCH BUTTERFLIES ARE ESSENTIAL

I really like to use these creatures in their beauty to speak to that force of Life thing that is all over the place. It is monarch butterfly season soon. I saw it once! What a gift!

I call this one CRYSTAL CLOUD. It is about 12" x 12".

This is called DON'T SHOOT THE BUTTERFLIES. It is on wood about 12" x 24".

Thhis is named UKRAINE DANCE in honor of my friends and relatives in Ukraine being attacked by a powerful mad man. This is on wood, 8" x 12".
