The monarchs arrive, for a day or two every summer, then they are gone. They conglomerate around my purple butterfly bush, all oranges and blacks, and I feel lucky. I take my children outside and they laugh and chase the butterflies and I feel lucky again.

what an evocative image.
love your style..!
Intriguing image and a great style!
Lovely imagery!
That is a lovely painting and I love the story it comes from. I love Spring for that very reason-that everything is so fleeting and you have to actively appreciate it before it is gone.
very beautiful!
Very emotive quality.
I absolutely adore your work! Would love to feature it on my blog sometime if you don't mind the use of your images?
Your work is lovely! So dreamlike.

No worries if you're not into the whole tagging thing, I hope you don't mind that I linked you.
All the best - Val
I like this one.
Lovely bush and butterflies! It is indeed a blessing.
Gorgeous - as is all your work. Just sublime!
Wow! It's so interesting how we interpreted Talisman in similar ways!! Your work is awesome!
I really like the way you use the maps - they are nice on the clothes, but on the skin they add so much, both random texture of skin and wrinkles and the metaphorical layers.
very beautiful indeed! i love butterflies too :)
