Butterfly gem paintings

I'm really enjoying making these little butterfly paintings but I'm going to be working on some feather ones tomorrow. I hope to have some to add to my etsy shop soon, once all my other work is completed...I've been busy with commissions and working for exhibitions, it's good to be busy!

Aquamarine Blues

I spent today in the studio working on these little butterfly jewels.

 The red kite is an experimental piece from a couple of days ago.

 The butterflies are destined for this exhibition at the Jam Factory in Oxford in August. I'll be taking a road trip to deliver the work and I'm looking forward to spending a couple of days exploring Oxford.

I thought I was done but now I've photographed it I can see a couple of adjustments that I should make.

So back to the studio once again, 

I may be some time...... 

Painting update...

Just a short progress report on the butterfly paintings.

 Top image is last night and the next one is earlier this afternoon. 

It's not going exactly as planned,  but slow progress is being made.

I was hoping to get them finished today, mmmm,

 but will probably be tomorrow as my concentration level is lacking somewhat.

Funny how sometimes work flows and other times it's a struggle.

Ah well, back to the studio now.
