"Bee on a Flower" is a zoomed-in perspective painting of a honeybee resting on a red flower, nestled amongst the lush green leaves. This piece invites viewers to take a moment to pause and reflect on the little things in life and to appreciate the impact even the minuscule things have one's perspective. The gentle nature of the honeybee reminds viewers to realize the importance of honesty and acceptance. The composition uses the wood slab well and resembles a magnifying glass observing the actions of the bee.
