PPF and a Bee Sting

Participating in PPF, still the same canvas, still using oils, but not much work being done with it


because some ground bee bit my left hand two days ago leaving it swollen, red, itchy and uncomfortable.  Damn bee.

right hand not bitten:

See? Poor, pitiful me.

Benadryl in my body and salve on my hand, I'll be checking out others artwork on PaintPartyFriday.

    Nancy your poor hand looks so painful and swollen - hoping it heals quickly for you. Your butterflies are coming along nicely - the blue one is really nice. Betty x

    Wow! I hope the swelling goes down soon. I am allergic to ant bites. I always keep Benedryl on hand too.

    Oh no! I'm sorry that nasty ground bee stung you! My son-in-law had a mean wasp crawl inside his pant leg and he was VERY swollen as well. Get well soon, Nancy!

    Hi Nancy
    Oh myyyyy your hand is really swollen! Those darn bees are around the cottage too and just way tooo friendly at least sticking by too close. I don't like them for sure. I'm glad you aren't more allergic to them because that bite was bad enough.

    Your canvas butterfly work looks so good so far...I know you want to get back to it. I hope your hand is better today..
