Description
I painted a Monarch butterfly because I have so many good memories of them. It helps to paint a positive idea. When I step a few feet away from this painting, I get a sense of movement. Nervous energy. There is also this weird effect of the dark lines imitating stained glass framing in a fire. The complimenting cool colors make the warm colors glow. I have been on a roll letting the paint drop creating dots. But I missed the line. A thick or thin line falling with no hope of stopping, is immediate. A line hits and it is done. Final. The only thing I can do is lay another line over it or add dots of color. I was so worried this painting would come out looking like a wicker hobby collective figure you would see at a flea market. That worry is gone. I see intense energy in the lines. And just like the dots, the lines bring me to that question. Is this memory of an image falling apart or being constructed?
