Butterfly Lost



A lady at work wanted to me to paint something along the lines of a mermaid or butterflies for her daughter's room. I used leaves to create a couple of butterflies in the paint. The first photo is the full sheet when completed. As I looked at trying to get the butterfly on the left with the mat, I couldn't ignore the really nifty composition going on underneath it, and to get it, had to sacrifice the butterfly. Oh well, will try again with another painting!
