"Summertide" - Print
The Plantasia Collection: "Summertide" Print
“Summertide” looks at a close-up of a busy bee going from flower to flower on a lemon tree in London’s Chelsea Physic Garden.
It was the end of June in 2018 when I went to the Chelsea Physic Garden, the sky was blue and the day was quickly becoming hot. In the garden there was a lemon tree laden with fruit. I started taking pictures to capture the citrus’ magnificence.
Then I noticed a bee going through the tree, it was visiting the lemon blossoms. I tried to capture that perfect moment with my camera - the bee on a lemon blossom.
When it came time to paint this image, I was excited of what I had managed to do with my camera. I feel like this image captures a magnitude with its minutia. A bee collecting pollen is quite small, magnifying what we rarely see.
Dramatically lit, this painting has a dark background of dense foliage. In the foreground is the vividly illuminated honey bee gathering pollen from a lemon blossom. Up close you can see the hairs on the bees body and the pollen that fills the baskets on her legs.
May this piece bring a luxurious sense of nature hard at work to your home.
“Summertide” makes a wonderful diptych when paired with my “Heliconia Lustre” painting. I worked on it simultaneously with “Summertide”. Together they sing and balance each other.
