Golden Opportunity Painting

Walking in our garden on an early, windy evening, I happened upon a sunflower waving in the wind, as she prepared to close her petals to sleep for the night. But a hungry Monarch Butterfly had another intent. It took advantage of petals not completely closed for an opportunity to sample the fine nectar still available, allowing me my own opportunity for a memorable photograph. I set a quick shutter speed and captured a fleeting moment in time. A scene like this one is impossible to capture without a camera. But starting with a still shot, I portrayed the petals flailing in the wind with my brush. I hope the action is conveyed to my viewers and I thank a hungry butterfly for allowing me the time to capture the scene. Although most of my work is architectural, I often take a break from the perspective angles and straight lines to revel in the freedom of painting flowers. Invariably, I attempt to capture a dynamic scene and I favor an abstract background to contrast with an accurately rendered flower, hoping for a three dimensional effect. Watercolors are perfect for my portrayals.
