Dianna & M.Smyth:
Glad you liked it!!! I think dots from the black Micron pen helped a lot!! It's an interesting technique that I thought I'd try out!

Re: Butterfly

Thanks Lori and blumoon. Glad you liked it!
I was told that since the butterfly is larger than life...it couldn't be entered into any of the miniature competitions!! They have a size rule. I guess the shows will have to do without this one! My next butterfly will have to be
the size of my fingerprint!! ha, ha LOL

Re: Butterfly

this is great. You have done very well with the design on the wings. I think my eyes would be so tired and blind on top of being hunch backed from being so rigid when painting. Give yourself a pat on the back for this one.

Yes, I was goggle-eyed after finishing the wings on this one, but not too hunchbacked to give myself your pat on the back! LOL...Thanks!

Re: Butterfly

Great job on the butterfly, Bertoni. You've really captured the irredescence and the detail in such a small scale is superb.

When I started it, I didn't think I'd be able to do justice to all the detail in those wings. Appreciate your thought that I was able to succeed with it!!!
