Monday Morning Artwork

I've been working diligently on my submission to "The Butterfly Project" and since I'm finished it & it fits the theme for both Blue Monday and Inspire Me Monday, I thought I'd participate. I also thought showing the progression of the painting might be exciting too. I happen to have taken pictures of it a few times as I progressed, so this plan works out. The plan wouldn't come together so well if I didn't have those pics, huh. I guess I'd just have to pantomime. ;o) 
So, here we go... (click to enlarge)

  

  

1. Sketched out

2. Inked filled 

3. Watercolor added

...and here's the finished painting!

Title: "The Innocence"
Pin It

I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I'm also thrilled to be able to send a piece I'm proud of off to such a wonderful cause. I can't believe I get the honor of being a part of the display of 1.5 million butterflies, one for each child who perished in the Holocaust.

Also, please check out my new endeavor. In March (on one of the Saturdays) I will be launching a blog hop geared toward those of us who create art. If you consider yourself an artist at heart, please sign up your blog so I have some idea how many people are interested. Don't worry, I won't be tracking you down and dragging you back to participate if you decide later not to! Click here to read more about my "Artist's Play Room" and the start of the upcoming blog hop.

We'll talk soon, K? Oh, and if anyone out there has a secret stash of hazelnut coffee I'd be willing to do almost anything for a jar! (My town seems to be out of it city wide, huh... I'm having withdrawal symptoms. Thank God there's cake tomorrow. Happy Birthday MOM!! I Love You Muchly. :o)

Best,
