Description of the Artwork “Self-portrait with bees”
This is a self-portrait done in a unique way. Growing up, I always had to deal with yellow-jacket bees on my grandparent's farm and I wanted to depict the moment of anticipation just before they would retaliate for my attacking their hive. I wanted to paint it in early morning light and this is one of many in my more realist and darker style of painting.
Dennis Short, United States
I live in the small town of Richlands in the state of Virginia. From the moment I was a small child I have created art. Over the years I have did many different mediums and styles. I always enjoy new discoveries in art and in how I can convey what I see inside my mind. My main interest is in oil painting, but I also enjoy drawing, sculpture, casting, and even scrimshaw. I look forward to the future of my art and what I will create and on here I wish to share the art of my present and pass for others to hopefully enjoy.
