A Tower of Bees hit by Forces Beyond Their Control

Art's Description

About this painting
This was inspired by the idea of bees hit by sea water to represent the emotional shock of being hit by a devastating and unpredictable event.
The bold thick strokes of white in this painting create a sense of power and violence in the rough ocean. The bees are much more smooth and delicately painted.
Technical details
To obtain a dramatic and raw image I decided to paint the sea roughly using a palette knife instead of a brush. The bees were painted later.
Painted Apr to May 2007.
