Le Papillon D’or

Believe it or not this painting was originally a failed attempt at a cherry blossom. I had spent days paint oversized cherry blossoms but was never quite satisfied with the results. One day in a whirl of inspiration I smeared it in blush pink paint, layers and layers. After they had all dried I saw a butterfly in the textures that were created from every layer. Naturally a girl with a glitter obsession saw the opportunity for gold. Here are the results.  Framed in an antique white frame. Measures 18×22″
