My butterfly commission finally finished! :0) Paint Party Friday :0)
Here is my butterfly commission all finished. I think they look so pretty all lined up together. I'm really happy with how it turned out as it's my first commissioned piece where I have used oils. The green butterfly (colour requested from client) was a bit of a challenge as I wanted to make sure the butterfly stood out, so I added more blossoms in the background. I reached a point where I wasn't sure if it was finished or not but didn't really think I should add anymore. I think I had just stared at it for far too long. Do you ever feel like that?

I love your butterflys. Just great work! Thanks for sharing.
Lovely butterflies! I try to step back from my work frequently, it seems to help. I agree with Julie, they would make wonderful prints!
they look so nice all lined up together! good idea to use the blossoms to make them pop.
These are so pretty. They really look great together!
Nicola!! Amazing! Great job! And, yes, I have done that several times, when you just keep looking at a pianting, wondering, should I do anymore with it! LOL! Take Care ;o)
I just love this butterfly series. I think the green one looks terrific and does pop. Great job Nicola!
Ooooooh, they came out soooo well. They're beautiful Nicola.
sweet!
These butterflies are awesome!!!
And yes, I overthink entirely way too much on my pieces--these are perfect!!
These are lovely! I know exactly what you mean - when doing oils it is easy to spend too much time going over and over. I've found that taking a photo at the end of each session helps to see it with fresh eyes and I can spot things in the photo (like if the angle of something is wrong) that I couldn't see from staring at the picture itself. You don't need to worry about these however as they are beautiful and clearly perfectly finished!
These are beautiful! I love butterflies in any shape and color. I'm sure you client is going to love them! I think the green stands out nicely against the flowers. Great job!
They turned out even more beautifully than I'd imagined- your client is going tobe SO happy with these!
