Butterflies (Stoor)

by Godfrey J. Ellis – Acrylic 14×18 October

The tiny blue flower in the upper left is turning into a tiny butterfly and there are even smaller butterflies on her heart medalion. That matches her personality perfectly – fun, mischievious, and enthusiastic.

The semi-abstract background was a worry but she loved it. It had the same colors as a favorite dress. Below is a photo of her holding the painting.

Below are some photos of the portrait as it developed.
