I Love Butterflies

11x15 mixed media on paper (watercolor, colored pencil, acrylics) done a few days ago just in time for Spring.  First I stamped white Montana acrylic marker over stencil with round shapes in background as seen upper left, then stenciled numbers 457.  When dry I added colored pencil marks using Magic pencil by Koh-i-Noor.  Light washes completed the background then the insect was painted wet in wet letting colors mingle and mix for this imaginary creature.
