Once More Unto The Doodle

I’m driven in art by the notion that today may be my last day on this rock orbiting a small G2V star on the lesser known side of the Milky Way; which is why I try to do something every day. Good, bad, whatever, it’s a record i existed. So, here are some butterflies flitting about in a nameless summer field on a warm summer day.

Fear not, those that are here for my digital art (of the 3D kind. I haven’t abandoned it, I’m just waiting for a cool idea to pop up.

So this is digital, but it’s oil, spray paint, stencil and some watercolor – ergo mixed media.

Monarch Sangria

A vibrant painting showcases a close-up of several monarch butterflies with their characteristic orange wings, black veins, and white spots. The butterflies overlap, creating a striking and dynamic composition against a reddish-brown background reminiscent of Monarch Sangria.

It’s not my worst, there’s a couple I haven’t shown anyone. Still, I’m putting this one aside. I can’t think of how I can make it work, so I’m moving on.  On the positive side, I have done something for March; which has not been the greatest month for me.

About it? It started as a concept called Fruit Fly.  I was going to do oranges with gossamer wings – don’t ask, sometimes I don’t know where my ideas come from.  I eventually abandoned that, and went with Butterflies, since it’s Spring.  The title evolved from the original fruit (sliced oranges), the wine-like background, and the beverage I was drinking at the time.
