Hello Olivia, Thank you! I am glad you like this one. I am going to keep this painting to hang in my bedroom. The butterfly is a buckeye, but I changed the colors to purple. I reality buckeyes are different shades of browns with some back and a bit of orange in their wings. I kind of did my own thing with it's colors as well as the patterns of the buckeye. I hope you had a wonderful Monday and I also hope Chow Chow enjoyed his day. Wishing you a nice evening, Lydia
Hello Olivia, You are right, it's very good to put our own creatity and uniqueness to a painting, by changing it a bit. I hope your enjoying your day! Blessings, Lydia
I'm a gardener, mother and an artist living in upstate New York.
My favorite media to use is oil. I also work with watercolors, gouache, charcoal, pastels and watercolor pencils. On occasion I use acrylic paints.
Nature is my best teacher.
I love to paint hearts, bugs I see in the garden, flowers and abstracts. I also love to paint celestial and Halloween themes.
All of the art I sell is original. I sell no prints.
This oil painting is lovely, Lydia,
ReplyDeletesuch beautiful colors and shapes for the flowers and the butterfly. Is it a monarch ?
Wishing you a good continuation of your creative spell,
Olivia

Thank you Lydia,
ReplyDeleteChou-Chou is out right now, he loves strolling around at night.
It is artistic liberty to change the colors in a painting. The expressionist Franz Marc painted blue cows, yellow horses and green cats - why not ?

Good evening Lydia,
ReplyDeleteThis buckeye certainly is unique.
The sun is shining here, but it is quite cool again. The tulips are blossoming, though.
Hello Olivia,
ReplyDeleteThank you!
I hope the sun is still shining where you are? It's foggy and raining here.
Wishing you a wonderful day!
Lydia
