Post 176: The Busy Bee Series of Paintings

The Busy Bee Series of Paintings

I recently painted a series of paintings I am calling "The Busy Bee Series". These are (at least so far) mostly bumble bees, but I do have a honey bee flying through the canvases.

What brought about the Busy Bee Series?

This little painting started the breathtaking business of busy bees (say that 3 times fast to ward off being stung). I recently sold this painting at Clearbrook Center of the Arts through my PWAS group (go me!) so of course, I needed more bee paintings, right?

Buzz the Bee, 4x5 Acrylic on Canvas by Donna Liguria

Busy Bee Series, the List

1. Buzz the Bee, 4x5
2. A Bumble Bee's Butt, 4x4
3. Buzz the Bee 2, 4x4
4. Honey Bee at Work, 4x4
5. Bee Flower Feast, 4x4
6. I Was Here First, 4x4
7. Bee Butt Over Flowers, 4x4

Click on the link to go to the Bee Story for each one. Which one do you like best?

What makes a Paint Series?

For me, a paint series will probably consist of the same subject, painted one after the other, typically on the same size canvas. That would be a more true series than a lot of variations in canvas size.

For instance, in June and July I painted 4 different Blue Heron paintings. I sold the first one, tried to sell the second one but got a commission for a larger one and someone asked for a smaller one. I may end up calling that a series but the size of canvases were 2 at 10 by 20 inch, 1 at 15 by 30 inch and 1 at 5 by 7. The Busy Bee Series were all intentionally painted as a series and mostly of the same size or close to it. 

Anyway, its a little thing. A painting is a painting, is a painting.

Post 169: Bee Series 4: Honeybee at Work, 4x4 Acrylic on Canvas

Painting Name: Honeybee at Work

Talking about bees, we cannot leave the Honey Bee out. I've been painting Bumble Bees, and we do need more bees in the world, right? If you like honey, we do!

SKU: 08CQ21ACL2

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 4x4 Stretched Canvas

Price: $30.00 + Shipping (for each bee painting)

Edition Year: 2021

Series: Busy Bee Series 4

Framed?: No

Commissioned? No

What Brought About this Painting?

I started painting bees yesterday and I have done 4 so far. So this is therefore, the Busy Bee Series.

Honey Bees are the "sweetest of bees" in that they are best known for their honey production and crop pollination and have been "domesticated" for that purpose. They are certainly welcome in my garden for the tomatoes, melons, eggplants and cucumbers pollination!

So the name of this painting is really, the bee at work. I wonder it they could call that commuting to work?

Busy Bee Series

From left to right, top down, all are 4x4 mini canvases, acrylic:

1. Bee Flower Feast
2. A Bumble Bee's Butt
3. Buzz the Bee 2
4. Honey Bee at Work

I may do some more, but I also have a cactus painting on the easel now too.

Post 167: Bee Series 2: A Bumble Bee's Butt, 4x4 Acrylic on Canvas

Painting Name: A Bumble Bee's Butt

True, the Bumble Bee's Butt is the dangerous end, but you have to admit, they are cute butts.

SKU: 08CO21ACL2

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 4x4 Stretched Canvas

Price: SOLD

Edition Year: 2021

Series: Busy Bee Series 2

Framed?: No

Commissioned? No

What Brought About this Painting?

The painting "Buzz the Bee" sold recently at the Clearbrook Center of the Arts, so why not repeat a theme if it sells, right? This bee painting is the bumble bee flying away from the viewer so therefore, his wee butt.

I am painting two new bee paintings at the moment. The top one will have lavender in it above and A Bumble Bee's Butt is the lower painting and also shown below.

Post 138: Bee Series 1: Buzz the Bee, 4x5 Acrylic on Stretched Canvas

Painting Name: Buzz the Bee

Bumbles and Honey Bees welcome to my garden! There is a small store next to Clearbrook Center of the Arts at Tackett's Mill that is called The Bee Store. It is adorable. Everything having to do with bees. A lot of the traffic that comes through Clearbrook are going to or coming out of The Bee Store.

Edition Year: 2021

Series: Busy Bee Series 1

What Brought About this Painting?

With a garden in my backyard this summer, and anyone that knows me well knows it is a small garden, it attracts the small creatures. A fence deters the larger ones. But "Buzz the Bee" is welcome here, any time.

I like doing small art. It's quick (usually) and cute in my opinion. Let me know what you thing too.
