The "Musical Butterfly" Takes Flight!
It is confession time. When the butterfly was tightened, all put together and inserted into the stand, I stood back to see how it looked. I was confounded to feel an emotional tug and a smile. Suddenly it looked totally different all in one piece and what a pleasant surprise! It's interesting to experience how painting on the seperate pieces these past few weeks was just the preamble to the final stage.
Now, it is time to take the "Musical Butterfly" to the painting store where it will be coated professionally. Again, figuring out how to transport it took some patience and only one scratch (of which I was very pleased). I wonder how the sponsoring organization Imagination Celebration will respond, as well as the our community.
The photographs were taken in my studio, which was a bit of a juggling act because 3D pieces are always a challenge to photo. I had to go up into my loft office to get the photograph from above.
The butterfly is officially launched and out of my hands. Soon 25 butterflies will be places throughout Colorado Springs and then auctioned in September at a gala event. The procedes will benefit the local school art departments. I cannot wait to see the other butterflies!
