Wow I am really impressed with all the painting in so far.
Everyone is a winner - no doubt about that

Oh Sarah, gorgeous.  I agree with everyone, don't touch a thing.  It looks like an audobon print.

[Bhavna]

The nice thing is that yours are all so much more colorful than mine....the birds will go after yours and leave mine alone

[Denise808]

ok Sarah, before you go pulling out all that long lovely hair of yours.....

Details

Yours is lovely by the way and I agree, leave as is it's perfect and soo pretty. Everyone has done such a terrific job, this was fun and light

[Maryna]

oh that is just so beautiful everyone  well done

[Val]

Ah Brian.. the only reason you think your butterflies are not so colourful...is because they are too close to your blinding personage! 

Excellent Denise. 

[Happychappy]

    Brian and Denise both your paintings are excellent.  I just LOVE the different take on the same painting.  By the way Brian, don't kid yourself,  the birds will just love yours too.  Denise your background is excellent.  Something I struggle with for whatever reason.  Perhaps not wet enough as I get stripes, cauliflowers and blotches of colour.  Anyway, very well done both of you.  Patricia

[NHC50]

WOW!!!!! You all did a fantastic job on your butterflies.

[Sarah (arch)]

Brian, I actually think your colors are more cohesive and less opaque. Besides they actually have a background to blend into if a predator comes!  
Denise!!!!! That bg is to die for!

[Bev S.]

  Great work everyone, in fact excellent work from one and all!!!
 
I was there, I watched, I painted and then everything went kerflooie. . . . I'm not used to not being able to turn Dennis on and off. . . .perhaps I should say, stop and start Dennis!
So no matter that he was going slowly, it was way to fast for this rank amateur. . . . Then. . . . .when I was looking at Dennis and not at my table, one small black cat jumped up and walked over my wet paint!!!
That was the end of that. . . .although I was making such a mess of things, she didn't do any real damage!
I will, however, try again. . . . slowly, very very slowly! So Sarah stop pulling out your poor hair!!

[grandmapegi]

  wow, so many butterfly's so fast, and so pretty, look's like everybodys is going too fly off the paper! maybe a may's challenge? butterflys a flutter?

[Sarah (arch)]

Oh dear, Roxy. You and Jennylynn both had disasters!
