Compromise


A lot of thoughts went through my head while creating this piece- probably because it took so many hours! I started with a grid of circles that I made from tracing my dinner plates! Never being one to map things out I quickly noticed that my circles were slightly uneven.... but went ahead. After drawing one butterfly wing on poster board, cutting it out than tracing it 4 times on the canvas I began to create my butterflies. There are parts of this painting that are perfect reflections and balance, but there are many parts where things dont quite match up. In all areas of my art you will find vivid colors, an organic feel, and the beauty of nature which is never quite perfect.
