Save the Bees brings attention to the dwindling pollinator populations across our globe. Pollinators, like bees, support over 70% of the world’s plants by spreading pollen to and from the various plants they visit. Between pesticides/fertilizers poisoning the crops, habitat loss from human development/animal agriculture, and air pollution, our pollinators are in immense danger. Bees support our plants, which support our world, which support us. Without bees, we face a bleak future, represented by the dark drips over the sunflower.
This original painting was created for an Animal Rights Exhibition in Gainesville, FL. The piece sold opening night with 20% of the profits benefiting the activism of the sponsoring nonprofit organization. Being the first painting I ever sold, it will forever be special to me.
These 8.5" x 11" prints can be embellished with gold ink or kept authentic to the painting. Prints come packaged in an 11" x 14" mat and are placed inside a plastic sleeve.
Pictured: minimal embellishments
