As I Sat Softly By Her Side Painting

I normally favour painting moths, but this particular winged friend called me and I was intoxicated. Victorina Stelenes or Malachite Butterfly from Peru. How many of us have peered in taxidermy lepidoptera boxes wondering in awe at the amazing creatures row by row, lifeless, yet you can't tear your eyes away from their beauty. Beauty created to last only a short time, days weeks, months at best. This was one of those paintings that fell out of me, I couldnt hold it back. I worked fast and abstract initially, colours blending and rough shapes, then changed to the more delicate details. Even the neutral background is not so neutral, you can see hints of other hues through the layers. I do believe I will have to revisit this beauty again soon.
