The Butterfly Effect

I am in the process of updating my profile page. As part of this process I also wished to make a change to my Avatar and so asked my youngest son, Alex (16), if he could design me one.

Alex’s current creative genre is designing body art/ tattoos.
The only stipulations I gave Alex were to include my fav colour combinations of black and orange, and that his illustration should somehow represent my love for nature.
This is what gave me.

Thank you for this wonderful gift my son.

Alex has done a fine job Marion…love the delicacy and the colours are superb…Bravo Alex…!!
Lumineux in reply to Cynthia Adams’s comment, 5 months ago

Cynthia, thank you dear friend, I will pass all these comments on to him. Alex has always had a creative spark, but has, I think, finally discovered something he really enjoys. This spark, may yet burst into full flame with a little nurturing.

I see lively, poetic, symbolic, transformational beauty. Excellent springclean, Marion. Superb interpretive work, Alex.

A very beautiful representation of a wonderful soul created by a loving hand. This work has an enormous amount of emotion in it. You did your mom proud here Alex. Thank you.

This would make an awesome Tshirt…..!
Do you know how to do the PNG upload file thingy?
(I could help you if you want) Anyway, I think it’s reeeeally good.
Let him know for me, will ya? ;)
Lumineux in reply to Birgitta’s comment, 5 months ago

You know Birg, I thought the same thing! But have never really looked into the Tshirt design side of things. Girl, I would love to do this for Alex, and will take up your offer of help on this. Most appreciated. Sure will pass your thoughts on to him.

Lovely icon! Beautiful effect!!
Dalton Sayre, 3 months ago

I love this one, I keep coming back to it. I just put a couple of new butterflies myself.
Lumineux, 3 months ago

Thanks a bunch Dalton and Blossom.
ozlat, 3 months ago

the avatar just blew me away… from such a vague description your son has made a masterpiece
Lumineux in reply to ozlat’s comment, 3 months ago

Big thanks Oz, it did the same for me when I first saw it, it still never fails to amaze me how just right he got it for me. Sometimes we parents think our kids don’t really ‘know’ us, but every so often they prove us wrong. :-)
John Edwards, 3 months ago

Gorgeous colour and a true work of art. Your son’s very talented
Lumineux in reply to John Edwards’s comment, 3 months ago

Your support is sincerely appreciated John….and yes, I think he is too, but then my ‘critical eye’ may be somewhat blinded. lol
KazM, 3 months ago

Nothing represents nature better than a butterfly and your son’s representation shows such a gifted touch
Lumineux in reply to KazM’s comment, 2 months ago

Thank you so much Kaz, my son Alex is still amazed with the response to what he dubs he ‘little scribble’. lol
KazM, 2 months ago

So are we going to see more from Alex?
Lumineux in reply to KazM’s comment, 2 months ago

I wish I could say yes Kaz. Alex is my quiet achiever and seems to be creating mostly for self therapy at the moment, he is still quite shy and apprehensive about sharing his work with others. I try to encouraging him, and shortly intend to ask him to create something for the website I am currently designing. I hope he will agree. If so, I hope he will let me share it here also.
Faizan Qureshi, 2 months ago

Lumineux in reply to Faizan Qureshi’s comment, 2 months ago

Lol…what can I say Faiz, my son knows me well. ;o)
Thankx
