Butterfly on Jasmine, Original Acrylic Painting

I finished Butterfly on Jasamine today.  The painting is painted in acrylics and is on a 20x20 gallery wrapped canvas with edges also painted.  Ready hang on your wall.

Springtime weather is coming to South Texas and along with it is increased wildlife activity.  Our jasmine is in full bloom and the bees and butterflies are all over it.  That is until you try to capture a picture of the little beauties.  I chased this colorful butterfly around for a long time (was a windy day) and was able to get several nice photos of it to paint from.  I liked this one and hope you enjoy it also.

Butterfly on Jasmine is for sale.  Email me if you wish to purchase.

Monarch Butterfly Oil Painting, Finished

Finished the Monarch, 14x18 inch, Oil Painting today.  I enjoyed the work on this one, as developing a background to support the subject was flowers; and, I haven't had an opportunity in awhile to paint some flowers.  If you haven't read the previous posts about this painting, you may find the pictures and arty gab interesting.

Carolyn and I had a good show in Victoria last weekend.  The holiday spirit is here and a lot of people came.  I hope you like the painting.

Let us pray before we paint,
Jimmie
