Snowdrops, Snowflakes and a Swallowtail Butterfly by

Snowdrops and Snowflakes stand for hope and consolation. I’ve deliberately painted both of these beautiful little flowers for “S” because I could only grow Snowflakes in South Africa, and now I am able to only grow Snowdrops here in Canada. In both cases they are the very first harbingers of Spring and seeing them, one knows that Winter is now being ushered out. Luckily Swallowtails are found here and there.

I have used Black Ink and Derwent and Faber Castell Watercolour pencils on 8” x 10”, 125 lbs Hahnemuhle Bamboo mixed media, acid-free paper.

Many thanks to the person who bought a Sticker on 30/11/2011.

About Constance Widen

I paint because I cannot do otherwise. I paint because if I don’t I become unhappy and sad. Most of all, I paint best the things that filled and fill me with joy and excitement, like the ocean and waves which I no longer can see nor hear now. During the long winter months I paint butterflies, they are symbols of what it felt like to fly away to freedom. And all the while, I continue trying to achieve what Matisse wrote, “I continue painting until the hand sings” .
