Butterfly on the Bougainvillea, original painting by Jimmie Bartlett

Butterfly on the Bougainvillea is a 24 by 20 inch mixed media acrylic/oil painting on a gallery wrap canvas.  The painting is of a butterfly feeding on the flowers in our garden.  I painted a small study (6 x 8 inches) of this picture several years back with intentions of a follow up large format painting much sooner than now.  The work was done in layers of paint in which the initial first layer and edges was done in acrylics with the remaining layers done in oils.  The larger painting is filled with more detail and blends to amplify the colors of both the butterfly and flowers. This is a real painting sure to add color and interest for the home or office.  I am very pleased with the work and hope you enjoy it also.

God Bless You,
