"Lets Race!"

When I was set up to paint this I was very aware of a buzzing nearby. Upon exploration I found a hole in the hillside several feet from where I stood with bees streaming in and out. Luckily, my parents had a hive when I was growing up so I didn't ... you know, freak out or anything. And I didn't get stung.
On a less buggy note, one of my paintings is now on the cover of a book! Perishables by Tina Egnoski (see below).

Great trucks, Carol! You are a very brave woman about the bees, though... I would have packed up and run! Very cool book cover! Congratulations!

Congratulations on the book cover. Love the yellows. Do you worry about Africanized bees in TX? Guess you would have known if they were...

I cant believe your painting is on the cover of a book!!! I am so amazed!!! I love the picture, I could never have mastered that myself!
I wish you would draw more fruit. I really think you are great at it.
