Bee Man
As most of you know, I live in Baños de Agua Santa, Tungurahua, Ecuador. I have lived here for 8+years.
I really love that people will walk up and down the streets selling their wares. We have a fellow that passes by our house that whistles like a bird and sells milk directly from his goats. There is a fellow that passes the house on his motorcycle selling bread. There is a fellow that has the voice of an opera singer selling brooms. I actually really like his voice, such a strong baritone.The fellow in this painting comes to town selling honey.
His honey has an interesting flavor, like much of the honey in this area. The honey has a hint of eucalyptus. There are many of those trees growing here and of course it affects the flavor of the honey. Who knew? In different areas, the honey tastes different. Some of the jungle honey has a deep floral flavor. He has been selling his honey and honey products since we moved here.
He is one of the faces that is an important memory for me. He always has a welcoming smile and always remembers if you bought honey from him. That also means you have to go into negotiations with him to get a good price for your honey. But that is sometimes half the fun. I can never pass him without giving a smile, saying Buenos Dias, and shaking his hand.
This painting was done using Derwent water colour paper for water colour pencils, A3, Winsor & Newton water colour markers, Letraset Aqua markers, black ink and white ink (uniball) and for the background Dr. PH Martins hydrus paint in spray.
