Madam Butterfly

I was pleased with the way the back wing showed through the front as the light shone through. Here's some appropriate painting music.

    Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus)

    Oh Madam, as you
    flutter by,
    with your yellow
    butter fly,

    set in blue hue black
    alongside mosaic oranges
    brushing by,
    your colors take flight.

    Madam Buttefly
    by Giacomo Puccini
    English translation

    "He will call Butterfly
    from the distance
    I without answering
    stay hidden,
    a little to tease him,
    a little as to not die."

    Madam Buttefly
    by Giacomo Puccini
    adapted by Malcolm McLaren
    and Robby Kilgore

    "Call me Butterfly,
    Madam Butterfly,
    Butterfly, Butterfly have no fear;
    I'll be back to wipe your tears
    of sweet Butterfly,
    so sweet Butterfly,
    she's waiting..."

    Brenda this is beautiful. Did you paint it in pastels? I love working with soft pastels :) Thank you for sharing.
