Yellow Butterfly ~ Happy New Year

5x5 watercolor on Italia 140 lb. cold press paper begun yesterday and completed today as my final painting for 2019.  Just as a butterfly flies away we say goodbye to a long and eventful year with hopes of a better one unfolding.  Have a happy new year all friends and followers!

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.
