My parents live in Clinton, MS, and I often will go wandering about the outskirts of town, looking for things to paint. I saw some cows in a field in the shade of a tree, so I followed the dirt road. I asked for permission from friendly folks in the house at the end of the road- to be on their property. On my way back I saw these wonderful beehives, almost like an abstract painting, or geometric design. These are active hives and the bees could be seen swishing too and fro. Studio painting.
