18 1/2 x 30"

From a sunflower in our front yard. This bee didn't seem to mind all the attention I was giving it as it serviced the sunflower. 

I discovered when I was laying out the painting that its width and height were very close to the Golden Section ratio, (1.618...) , so I adjusted them to make that nearly exactly so. Recently, an observant viewer noted that the gold part of the painting is itself square, and thus leaves a rectangle which also has the Golden Section ratio.

From a private collection
