051 Beehive - monotype

I have been experimenting with encaustic paint today at work, there are some great bits to my job. Below is one of the results. But I thought today's daily image should be this beehive to give thanks to the bees for the wax!

I nearly went with the green and red study below for today's picture but it feels like an experiment and not a resolved piece. Some more experimentation tomorrow may throw up a small masterpiece we shall see... But for now enjoy my first tentative step into encaustic paint!
