Description

Ever since I first laid eyes on a Vincent Van Gogh’s amazingly spiritual painting “The Starry Night” (1889), I never look at the sky and take it for granted...he inspired me to see through an almost metaphysical filter or lens and look beyond the immediate sense! In this work, I tried to create a spiritual feeling of wonderment that is like that of a child’s when viewing something for the first time. I hope that I can inspire my viewers in some small way to see the beauty that is all around them, if they really look!
If look closely, you’ll recognize a portion of my painting “Butterfly Sunday” that was inspired from Bob Wayne Mullins work. In addition to being a professional for a national charitable organization, Bob Wayne Mullins is a devoted photographer who is on a mission to find that perfect shot in nature, places, people, or things! It is in one of his numerous galleries that I found the "Flowers and Plants" photos and fell in love with one in particular, "Butterfly Sunday"! I was so thrilled when Bob Mullins gave me permission to paint this beautiful capture! Here is the Description found on his website: A photograph of a Black and Blue Monarch Butterfly sucking the Nectar from a Sunflower, was shot in Western North Carolina near Lake Junaluska. Many know it as the United Methodist Conference Center. The black against the yellow looks like that of a summer dress blowing in the wind. This image is available in print, canvas or framed. His website on Fine Art America.com is: http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/b-wayne-mullins.html
Now, you can also find "Butterfly Sunday" here on my website in a painting form! Both Bob and I are excited to offer you this beautiful image for your enjoyment!
