Butterfly in the Garden
Artist
Maria Hunt
Medium
Painting - Pen And Ink With Watercolor On Antique Pages
Description
During a recent trip to New Jersey/New York, we spent the day exploring rural New Jersey, including a former farm that had been donated to the State and was an expanded to become an arboretum Near the ancient family home was a garden with flowers of all kinds and butterflies of so many varieties This was from a Photograph I took... it seemed appropriate to draw/paint it on this antique page from an 1884 "Cyclopedia of Universal Knowledge".. : ))
The magic of Butterflies and Watercolor comes together with an uplifting thought:
Butterflies struggle to break from their cocoon, and depend greatly of the warmth of the sun to stimulate circulation in their wings.. They do not know their beauty or the wonder they bring to those who see their beauty.
Likewise, we struggle in life to survive and to make a difference without realizing what a marvelous creation we are. We seek the warmth of the "Son" to draw strength and comfort. Most of us do not know how good we are, or what a difference we make in the lives of others......but He knows that we are special!!!
These pages will be used to raise funds for local charitable organizations through painting gatherings, where guests enjoy wine and lite bites and paint abstract or fun creations on antique pages of music or text, mounted on acid free paper. 1884 Cyclopedia of Universal Knowledge repurposed to enrich and to help others.
