1663 SOLD Monarch Butterfly on the Amaranth

SOLD !  I have been painting this for a few days now.  I grew some milkweed and then watched this one grow from egg into caterpillar and finally into butterfly.  The cocoon was on a branch that got broken so I brought the branch into the house and when the butterfly came out I put it on the globe amaranth flowers.

The painting is 8 x 10 inches, oil on masonite.  $250.

I have also entered this years Inktober for the first time.  Here is the first one, its my dog Scouty.
They have prompts and the first prompt is "Fast."  I used a Sharpie pen. #inktober #inktober2016

Daily Painting 628 SOLD Commissioned Dog Painting

SOLD I have a feeling its going to be too red, the person who commissioned it said my photo was. (Darn) I like it this color! It looks like I will have some more tweaking to do. 5 x 7, oil. Not for sale here.

Note, the dog owner (not the person who made the commission) liked the painting and I didn't have to tweak it. :oD
