Can Serious Art Have a Sense of Humor?

Art is to be enjoyed, so it seems to me that including a wee sense of humor can be like an embellishment. Painting a couple of the bees on the mat area is one way I like to surprise the viewer and maybe inspire a smile.

Such an addition won’t work for every painting, certainly. But wild, messy daylilies seem willing to accommodate a little unexpected frivolity.

What do you think?
