Sometimes I like to take a break from painting landscapes. This leads to happy hours in the studio playing with color and shapes. Pearl Crescents are flying right now. Dainty little orange butterflies, they dance and flutter busily in the field. As I worked on this painting I kept in mind their very active nature, wanting to suggest that in the way the background looked.

Welcome back to the blogosphere. We have the pearl crescent in Texas, too.
Thank you Steve! It is nice to know we have this sweet little butterfly in common.
I missed you, too, Melissa. I imagine these pretty butterflies fluttering across a creek with their scales being turned golden by rays of sunshine.
That is so kind of you, Tanja. Yes, they do flutter, just like that. 🙂
So pretty! I love the summer colors! 💙
Thank you Barbara! So good to hear from you 🙂
Lovely! A favorite butterfly, common but beautiful. There might be another flight this season.
Good paintings, in a charming blog … congratulations 👍🌺🌿
