Description Gouache
24x32 cm

A painting I did for my fiancΓ©es mother. She likes butterflies and the colors orange and green. So monarch butterfly seemed like the perfect painting object.
I can't even remember when I started this, maybe 3 months ago? Took me long enough in work hours, I've never spent so much time in one painting. Butterflies were a piece of cake but the background took more than 30 hours.
I know, I'm sloooow...

I didn't have my scanner working, so I just took a photo. : P

Comments much appreciated!

Everything would've been more clearer and neater if I didn't have to take photo. *glares at scanner*
In fullview it now looks blurred. :\
But I'm happy with the picture and happy that you like it. .D

Wow, just wow!!

I'm loving oggling at this
The butterflies lead my eyes around the painting so nicely, and the colours compliment very well <3
