Purple Butterflies
12” x 12” Acrylic on Canvas
Pink, purple, nor the combination of the two have ever been my favorite colors. And you can ask my friends, Jen and Stacey, if I like butterflies. Not even when Lisa Frank was popular in elementary school did I like butterflies. What is the inspiration behind this painting then?
It’s my neighbor who had a little baby girl last weekend. She chose purple and brown butterfly decor with a tad bit of pink for her baby’s room. For that reason I am happy with the finished product. I struggled with a lot of the thoughts I mentioned in my first post and hesitated to finish the painting (I almost scrapped it when I was 15 minutes from finishing it).
I was inspired by the person more than the art, that’s the reason.
