Our Wings – Mixed-Media Painting

I wanted to create a pretty stylized butterfly that wasn’t your typical color or look.

I have a wonderful book called “A Flight of Butterflies” from The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Thames and Hudson that a wonderful artist friend sent to me. She originally intended to alter this book but seeing the beautiful butterflies she chose instead to send it to me. I love butterflies.

This book is filled with the woodblock illustrations of Kanzaka Sekka of Japan and is one of my most treasured possessions.

Inspired by Kanzaka Sekka’s beautiful woodblocks I created this painting in the spirit of Japanese butterfly design. Very stylized and flowing lines. Soothing colors with a hint of spring.

It is available for purchase directly from me until Sunday April 4th, 2010. At that time I will add it to my Etsy store and the price will go up dramatically. I would prefer to sell direct with out using an online shopping system where I pay fee after fee and still offer free shipping.

Price: $150.00 Size: 24″ x 18″ x 1.5″ gallery canvas, sides are painted black, signed by artist front and back
