Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Bees Splatter painting and and roasted asparagus

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! I reworked an older worker bee piece for the 'bees' theme (ACEO 2 1/2" x 3 1/2"). I turned it into a splatter painting with splashes of 'honey' in the background. I have included a progress photo as well.

1/2 tsp onion powder 

1/2 tsp garlic powder 

1/4 tsp salt 

1/4 tsp pepper

 1 tbs tablespoon lime juice. 

Bake 350F 20 minutes in the oven.

Your bee picture is very beautiful, dear Christine! I hadn't heard of this method of cooking asparagus before, but it sounds delicious. I really like this vegetable. (Unfortunately, my husband doesn't.) The day before yesterday, I had asparagus salad with shrimp.
All the best, Traude
