This is my piece for January's Nibblefest Contest, theme Music. I started piano lessons at 6 years of age, and continued on into my college years. One of my favorite pieces was "Flight of the Bumblebee", the orchestral interlude in Rimsky-Korsakov's opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan. Fun fun fun to play, and I could just imagine a busy bumblebee, much like the one in this painting, going about his business, time to fly, no time to waste! I enjoyed employing my chinese brushwork techniques to this piece, using my chinese watercolors and hand-ground ink. It is painted on 300# Arches cold-pressed watercolor paper, which is made in France and one of my favorite supports. This is my entry in the Nibblefest Art Contest.
