Medium
Painting - Watercolor On Paper
Description
Painting on location can produce all manner of surprises. Recently, while painting at the local palm preserve, a thirsty Painted Lady butterfly landed for a long drink from the damp sponge I keep on my palette. I grabbed my pocket camera and proceeded to snap photos until he/she flew on. Because the camera is one of those that aim and focus only from the view-screen on the back, and because that's impossible to see in bright sunlight, I had no idea what I'd captured until I got home. Out of thirty photos there were parts of three that were usable. The painting is a composite from those three. Its actual title is: "Palette with Paint(ed Lady)" It has been accepted into the 50th International Exhibition of Watercolor West in Brea, CA, from Oct. 1st to Dec. 16th, 2018.

Thank you! This was a challenging piece to sort out to paintable form, particularly in constructing the composition and defining its edges in a way that lets the design speak strongly.
