It's Friday and time to share a bit of art with all of you folks. It's been a couple of weeks since I've posted... I haven't been doing art. 😒
Just too busy with the yard and garden and those crazy caterpillars.
After 24 failures with unhealthy caterpillars we finally have 4 apparently healthy butterflies. Yesterday 2 females emerged and today we have 2 more. Before the day is out today we should have 5 more butterflies. Exciting times for me anyways ♥
Since the past week was just a waiting game and no messes to clean up several times a day I have had time for art.
Working on two pieces at the same time.
I started with a prepared background that I had made by smearing leftover paints on a sheet of watercolor paper.
Then a butterfly sketched on a sheet of paper for the second one. This was used on a canvas for a mixed media piece.
Then started adding more details to both...
More details ....
... and this is where I am at now 😊
The butterfly is nearly done and the other has a lot more work to be done.
I should have more time this coming week to finish them and start something else.
