That didn't take long at all...

The latest finished piece to grace my studio is now in my home page slide show.  I started it nearly two years ago, but as is my way, I took my time to get all its elements the way I wanted them.  Typically, there are three, four, sometimes five unfinished pieces at a time in my studio, and they don't get attention on the same days.  I may have to leave a piece alone for weeks or even months before my light bulb goes on and I'm able to work on it again.  In the case of "Butterfly in the Garden," even though its original vision came from a vivid dream, the bottom right corner was a mystery to me for months before I finally decided what to put there.

At the moment, I have three partially done paintings and one blank canvas with a planned design being worked on.  I just returned to one of my mermaid ("Undersea Adventures") paintings that I've been staring at for months because a tail just wasn't right.  Last night, after a grueling week and a very long Friday complete with broken car air conditioner in 90+ degree weather, I watched a few episodes of Discovery's Shark Week, and my light was on.  Now I'm back in the studio working on it and feeling as if my hands are suddenly untied. It's an incredibly liberating feeling, like coming up out of water to breathe air.

Since the butterfly painting is finished, I can now share some of the time progression it went through.  Thanks for reading.
