So many ways we could go with Marie's theme of "wings" this week. I finally settled on the Monarchs, whose fragile wings carry them for so many miles in their migratory experience. One of nature's phenomena, for sure! The lady is one of Harrison Fisher's with a bit of rearrangement of color; the Monarchs are cybersurfed. Thanks for looking, blog friends!
Nothing manufactured by man can compete with nature where a delicate butterfly is able to survive a 3,000 mile flight to warmer climes. Bev, I love your thoughtful piece on the life of the monarch. The image you have chosen is beautiful and the whole effect is perfectly crafted.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning piece Bev, the Monarchs are truly a winged wonder of nature and you have captured their essence here beautifully!
ReplyDeleteHey Bev, if there is not an award for the cleverest comment on the blogs, I am inventing one. Your comment on Ann's "wings" picture is hilarious and so, so clever.
ReplyDeleteA very powerful yet delicate piece! just like the monarchs you are celebrating! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteBev, you've created a wonderfully beautiful and romantic piece. This woman is so beautiful, she could be Mother Nature herself. Gorgeous! Hugs, Terri xoxo
ReplyDeleteLovely art piece…
ReplyDeleteThe monarch butterfly has a special place in my heart.
I have a few patches of milkweed in my backfield so
that they can lay there eggs on them.
I am rewarded each September with a slew of winged beauties.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Bev! I love butterflies so much, and you have created a wonderful homage to the Monarchs here! The butterfly migrations are absolutely amazing: this summer we have had here in Finland big flocks of Admirals (is this the right word in English?) who have flown here all the way across the sea!
ReplyDeleteBev, this is super duper stunning, from the beautifully painted lady to the grand and athletic Monarch. Splendiferous my friend.
ReplyDeleteAwesome piece,love the splashes of color.
ReplyDeleteYour work is just amazing. I love looking at your creations, Bev.
ReplyDeleteI share your fascination with monarchs, Bev. And here you've managed to illustrate the juxtaposition of strength and delicacy, of both women and monarch butterflies. so perfectly in this enchanting collage.
