paint party friday -- butterflies!

It's been ages since I last joined in at Paint Party Friday, so I think it's about time!

In addition to finishing up a couple more houseplant portraits, I've been painting butterflies this week.














It's been fun.

I'm leaving my giveaway open until tomorrow morning when I'll choose the winner. Thanks to everyone who has left such lovely, encouraging comments. They mean so much to me. I'm really looking forward to choosing a winner and putting together the package!

But now, off to the party. Won't you join in, too?

    Beautiful butterfilies. It is nice to find somebody who is also inspired by them. I found painting butterflies so relaxing. We create butterfly painting

    These are just stunning! And so much nicer than that Victorian custom of snuffing the real ones for framing.

    What lovely paintings and they look so delicate. I like your technique of placing a line down the centre to work from.
