"Wetlands II"

This is a painting I did  a few days ago..

I painted the original "Wetlands" a couple of years ago in oil,and I just finished this  in pastel. Wanted to revisit  this in a different medium..It's pastel on homemade surface-foamboard gessoed then I applied acrylic pastel ground. Saw this formula on Karen Margulis' blog. That's what inspired me to revisit this painting-Karen suggests revisiting older paintings with fresh eyes and a different medium.

Butterfly on Dandelion

 6" x 8" oil on canvas panel  butterfly on a yellow dandelion.This was originally on a blue back round with a bowl and a lemon. It got to be too much,so I scraped off everything except the butterfly and simplified the back round -making it a little fuzzy so the focal point would be more on the butterfly.
