acrylic on canvas, framed, image is 30" x 30"This is the nest of a bald faced hornet. They are the famous 'paper wasps'. Their nests are constructed from wood which they chew and use to create these amazing hives for their young. From a distance they appear a uniform gray, but when you look at them up close you can see they are striations of every color in the range from beige and cream to black and brown. Hives are just one of the millions of other worlds we share on this earth. Wouldn't it be something if we built ours as carefully?
