Painted with oils and accented with hand-applied gold foil on the honeycomb geometry and eye. Varnished and ready to ship flat in a rigid protective mailer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bee arrives first because she has always arrived first. Her honeycomb is the oldest sacred geometry — six-sided, structurally perfect, built not because beauty was the goal but because, in her world, beauty and efficiency are the same thing. She moves between the visible and invisible with unhurried precision, her foiled eye open to every spectrum we cannot name. The foil on the honeycomb and eye catches light differently at every hour. Both are watching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis painting is part of Animarii, a 12-piece series of original oil paintings on professional watercolour sheet by British-Californian artist Rebecca Papillon.\u003cbr\u003eMedium: Oil on professional watercolour sheet. The paper is sealed before painting and worked in highly lightfast pigment oils. 9x12 inches. All original paintings are signed by the artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painted image area is 9x12 inches. The sheet is trimmed to 10x13 inches, leaving a white border for ease of handling and mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold unframed. The framed mock-up shown is for scale and framing inspiration only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFraming guidance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis piece frames beautifully in any standard frame with a 9x12 inch mat aperture. We recommend a 16x20 inch frame as the primary option — this gives a generous, gallery-standard mat with weighted spacing (slightly more border at the bottom than the top and sides, which is correct fine art framing convention). A 14x18 inch frame with the same 9x12 inch aperture works well for a closer, more intimate presentation. Both options are widely available. The 10x13 inch sheet fits comfortably within either frame with room for mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/bzsjinptng8\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"View up close on YouTube\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eView up close on YouTube\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rebecca Papillon","offers":[{"title":"9x12\"","offer_id":53315048636730,"sku":null,"price":216.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/9773\/0618\/files\/animarii-no1-bee-the-keeper-of-the-hive-mind-fine-art-print-1250753.jpg?v=1777879209","url":"https:\/\/rebeccapapillon.com\/products\/animarii-no-1-bee-the-keeper-of-the-hive-mind-signed-original","provider":"Rebecca Papillon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
