Description
Wings IV
*****
A Mourning Cloak butterfly, in its classic dark tones with contrasting edges, can be seen landing amidst green leaves, with a background made up of the bottom of a piece of discarded and upcycled sheet music.
*****
This is my third painting in a series of miniatures featuring Colorado butterflies, painted onto a background of sheet music and presented attached to tiny canvases. I have long wanted to experiment with different ways to approach and present watercolor paintings, and different archival quality materials that can be used for this purpose. Oftentimes, I feel that the matting and glass used in traditional framing processes for watercolors creates distance between the viewer and the work, so I am trying out a different process, here.
*****
I enjoy the appearance of musical notes on a page, and also feel good about repurposing items that might otherwise have found their way to the garbage.
The original painting is 3x3, mounted on a black canvas, with the edges of the paper deckled in a way that allows the black edge to show a bit, framing the painting visually. Please contact the artist directly for photos of the original as presented, and look for more items in this series. These paintings make a particularly beautiful display as a set, and can fit in many places in a home, due to their small size.
