Lovely! I wouldn't have thought to make a solid dark background like that, but I like it.

It's a kind of bee-like fly actually.... *cough* Amazing painting, really. I'm simply in love with that flower

thanks....actually, the bee looks "flyish" to me as well, but that's what it looked like in the reference picture...maybe he/she was having a bad bee hair day

Trust me, I've already had an argument about these flies before. It's a syrphid fly (a.k.a. hover fly, also flower fly), although I can't tell the exact species. You've actually painted it very accurately, so that I can tell for sure.

ahhhh... well, I wouldn't argue, I just thought it was a funny looking bee and didn't know any better!...I guess I need to change the name to "syrphid fly lunch" LOL

Or just "fly lunch" sounds better to me

this is really good, i liked it, i think you should've filled the back ground with grasses and flowers..

thanks! actually, it started out with more in the background and I painted over them...I prefer it to be a little more simplistic...it still took about 40 hours to finish as is
