Dew
Unknown Butterfly
With a "Butterfly a Day" series I am practicing on catching form and light without all the detail I'm infamous for and it's been a struggle.
I see all this detail and want to focus in and catch the beauty and I fight my way back to just shadow, form and light. I've done this focus and and pull myself back out all day long, my brain feels like it's stuffed with cotton.
My behavior reminds me of the time I spent learning to meditate with my eyes open focused a couple feet in front of me rather than meditating on my breath coming and going out of my nostrils with my eyes closed. One form of meditation on the breath is pinpointed focusing awareness like a laser and the other form with eyes open soften and broadens awareness.
Painting has been sold...
11 x 7, handmade 300lb rough cold-press cotton paper, watercolor, gouache, pen, and ink.

@reddust, I know this desrciption probably will not make sense, but I feel a odd combination of fun and eerie when I see this pic.
I know it sounds strange. Another great piece of work. Keep it up!

No I didn't make the paper, although I know how, took classes for paper-making at my community college twenty years ago. This paper was made in India. I would totally make my own paper, but I don't have the room right now. Hopefully next year I will have the time and space to make my own paper, matting, and frame!

I promise I will share my paper making adventures if I get the opportunity....making paper isn't that hard, you can make paper from anything that has a cellulose structure ;-)

This is beautiful. I can't buy anything until I get my new PC squared away but I hope you keep offering your art for SBD as I would love some in the future. I should offer more of my art this way too. Have you had any sales?
Can't wait to see more butterflies. ^_^

@artguy, I guess I like water drops, their reflection and form are fun to catch.

@xdark21, I'm glad you can take something away that's positive. This series is still evolving, I'm challenging myself by doing a technique that goes against my character.
