This is so beautiful. It is very delicate. I love butterflies. And I am an avid reader, so it reminds me of myself. Great work.

Just seeing this makes me feel relaxed and at peace. It is amazing that you can convey such feeling with your portraits. You are my hero!
Alice McMahon ... replied
It’s a very good poetry book! Your talent, warmth and generosity make you my hero too, Linda! Thanks for that!

Oh, thank you for your nice comment. Now I love butterflies, but also dragonflies and owls and wolves. Then I wrote a poem in a challenge in Life Line where you have an affinity with an animal and I couldn’t imagine myself writing about any of those. I wound up writing The Tigress. Do you think I may be a little confused? I know that I have a butterfly in my profile. Anyway, if you think of what I might be, let me know. And once again thanks. And I really love this piece.

A wonderful little addition to the series Alice!
Alice McMahon ... replied
Thanks Leith, these butterflies are breaking free of the boundaries of the series, as this one was created to be shown outside of my solo show. It also means more work before September to fill in the gaps. Draw! :)
