A bee's point of view

I did this painting many years ago. I did a whole series of still life pieces with colanders and fruit from above. I would set the still life in a deep window so the natural light would stream in. I like this composition and color combination. What is great about doing something like this is that you take a handful of items and spend an hour setting them up in natural light and photographing them. Stick them in a file and you have tons of material to work from . I still have the photos from this day....this was actually before digital now it is soooo much easier.
