This was fun to do but, the shadows kept playing tricks on me. The far right
tips/bits through me off. I finally just darken them in. Also, I couldn't get the
left eye figured out. All in all: if one doesn't look too hard it's "just OK".
Have a look:

Dennis I very much appreciated your plan of attack for that kind of flower-they have eluded me-still not there with those center stamen things, but I will remember your tips on that! O0

If there is anything wrong with this painting, you sure did a great job camouflaging it. It's perfect!!. Gosh, it's great.

I had so many good intentions while on vacation to paint - but only managed to do one P&I! Here's my rendition of "Butterfly on a Flower" - really fun to create and I loved the "therapy" of using dots - very relaxing!

Hope you had a nice visit in Maui.

You did a beautiful job on this butterfly and sunflower.
Do you mind if I print it and color it like we have been talking about doing - like it was a page in a coloring book?
Should be fun, but I wouldl have to improvise on the butterfly colors.

Dennis gave me his okay to post my colored pencil coloring of your beautiful pen and ink drawing. Thanks, Dennis.
I did not know what the butterfly's real coloring was so I choose purple, the complementary color for the yellow flower.
Thanks for letting me make a coloring book page out of your drawing. I had fun doing it.
Anyone have some pointers for me in case I decide to buy a coloring book?

Wow Mea, you've done a great job! In South Africa colouring books for adults are very popular. There is a great variety for anyone's taste. You can also look on websites like Pinterest - there is a lot of pictures you can download. Have fun. My next challenge is going to be the European Bee-eater in pastels and then I am struggling with the portrait in pencils (hair).
Have fun!
