The Ancient Beemaster's Farewell 

"The Ancient Beemaster's Farewell," a work by Conroy Maddox, depicts a single bee in flight, its wings spread against a black background. Below, a multi-colored, abstract form appears to be emerging from a dark, shadowy area. The use of bold colors and a contrasting background creates a dramatic effect, which is also present in much of Maddox's artwork. The painting reflects the artist's interest in the natural world and the cycles of life.
