Beautiful work. The play of colors and the areas of paper left unmarked create a nice depth.

Is that how the painting originally is or did you crop the picture?
In my eyes, it looks wonderful as it shows over here. Sometimes, not showing some parts can stimulate the imagination to fill-in those blanks.

Good observation, I did a little crop on the top, which I felt distracted from the focus - the gaze and butterfly. Thanks for noticing this possibility, and for the fav. Barrie

Beautiful gestural work, and the solidity versus movement of the butterfly is really entrancing, Barrie.

Oh Sej, thank you so much! You are right, about getting into the 'zone' where instinct and brush take over - every once in a while it happens for me. Barrie

i think this one is the best for me, there is no confusion, we can see clearly what you've done, but in the same time, it's just few touchs of watercolor, simply great!

I am incredibly jealous of your painting skills.
The strokes, lines and colours are intense and have a kind of lightness at the same time. Your pieces just look like they're alive. Awesome.
