Growing up, I always thought butterflies while beautiful creatures, were such a cliche girlie thing to like. So I resisted. Fast forward to adulthood and I’m in love with these creatures. Their transformation and beauty in either state is fascinating.
Here in El Paso, we’ve had more rain than usual and there are an abundance of butterflies around. It feels quite magical to me. So I thought I’d share some art selections that include these cute little critters.
This first one was very personal for me. It was the first painting that I completed after losing my mother unexpectedly. It’s called Metamorphosis because if we can release our fragile hearts, growing, changing, and flourishing is possible. I talk more about this topic in this Youtube video here.
