Memory of a Butterfly

a self portrait.... reflective in nature......

understated in terms of color.

this painting measures 30" H x 40 " W

i'm still working on some of the subtleties.... but.. it's largely done.

    Carol,
    This is such a beautifully introspective piece.

    Carol:
    I love this piece and the freedom the butterfly represents. This freedom can be found in the way you handle your paint and bold colors.
