Description This is a watercolor of one of the most attractive things I can think of: a butterfly
Bright colors and attractive semetrical paterns, they are one of life's elegant pleasures. Nicole Kidman is scared of butterflies, and calls them 'erie'. How strange.

Wonderfully executed, you know how to handle a brush. Butterflies are pretty, aren't they? I worked at a butterfly house over the summer actually. It was a fun summer job

Beautiful, lovely vivid, colours used, it makes me want to reach out and touch it, i love butterflies, once one was trppedin the house, and i managed to sit so still it landed on me, that was cool, no where as pretty as this one though.

Great job on the detail! Had the background not been in bright green, I would have mistaken it for a photograph!

I'm scared of moths O_O, they don't react like a normal insect when you touch them...

Oh my god that's funny. They don't react like a normal insect when you touch them...I don't know why, but that is hysterical to read!

Butterflies are beautiful, and this is no exception! This is wonderfully painted! Where I live, the Bronx Zoo is easily accessible from my house, and I just love going to the Butterfly Zone to see hundreds of them flutter about. It's great. I love the colours in this painting, and the lime green background really does wonders to make the design in the wings pop out! Great job!
