Ok i hvae been working awhile on this idea, and I quite like the outcome. It's a very emotional piece. If you can guess what the idea behind it is i'll give you a cookie tongue.gif

i'm a personal fan of colours, and there are so many in this piece i think i'm in love. perhaps i'll post some of my paintings later on. it seems as if the butterfly is barely escaping...

...or about to be caught by that hand. it makes me sad. thought i interpret on a biased level due to the overwhelming depression in my mind, i still think it's quite sad.

i also enjoy how you contrasted the colours or the negative with the black and white positive space, bravo.

exactly. It's based on a song called "She's a butterfly"

"And then the colors came,
Erased the black and white
And her whold world changed
The Day she realized
She's a butterfly"

and thank you everyone <3

One word, Wow...
I love the background colors!!!
Hmm, I don't know what ideas
that made you do this, but I'll guess!
A simple guess from me? LOL...
uhhh lets see... hmm nevermind.
But a theme for this, I'll guess
"reaching out to the colorful butterfly"
ok did that sound too corny? lol...
Okay I don't know if you made a theme.
I just think of one for you lol.

[without reading any entries] my take is the putting of emotions/moments into words, how once we try to grasp and label such an ethereal thing, it loses all power and meaning (as the butterfly dies).
and now that i review the previous comments--far off. lovely concept!

umm...anything can be beautiful, even in black and white. the hand is either pointing or releasing the butterfly to show how plain it is in such a lively and colorful world, but the butterfly is still pretty, no matter what color it is or how plain it is.

beautiful painting btw. i love the shades of blue and green you used in the bg.

thank you, but it's more showing that she is letting go of the black and white, and starting to live in color. It's actually modeled after my hand.

it look pretty good, i can't paint, and it so hard to mix/blend color.

it just funny how u paint it on a spiral. instead of a canvas or something.
