Butterflies

POLYDAMAS, the image pictured here, is one of a series just uploaded to the web at Butterflies. I took the names from a list of butterfly names as the colors are so festive.
These little mixed media paintings are a departure from my accustomed painting style. I started using pattern in high school for an art class assignment and was taken with it. I go back to it from time to time for the pure joy of the tedious repetition. It is the kind of work that calms the troubled mind. There is comfort in the order and pleasure in the color and sparkle.
Some of these paintings have bits of glass or glitter in them. They are signed and dated, and matted and ready to frame. The dimensions with mat are approximately 12x14”. They make very special gifts. They could even be accompanied by a gift certificate for a frame available online from American Frame.
Purchase these little paintings for $125 (includes shipping) through PayPal using your credit card, PayPal account not necessary. Contact me if you prefer to use a check or for questions and comments.
