Butterfly Woman

9x12 India inks and charcoal on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done this afternoon, another in my series of women.  This imaginary contemporary woman has multiple colors in the background for her hair and fluttering butterflies.  Her proportions are not exact as this is not a photorealistic work.  I like working with Dr. Ph. Martin's Bombay inks and my acrylic brushes; inks can be thinned with water and perform identical to watercolors or acrylics.  When dry they are permanent, lightfast, and shiny.
