One of my New Year’s resolutions was to finish a few projects that have been languishing in my flat files for a long time. I started this painting two and a half years ago, in the summer of 2012; it was originally meant as a wedding gift, but now will be more of a “you guys are still married, hooray!” kind of surprise for my friends. Each flower has significance for this couple, and the little honeybee was added after I’d finished the plants. I’m excited to have finished this one, and am looking forward to tackling another project (though I’ll probably give myself a little break in between).
