Description This was a commission I did for a beautiful friend. She loves butterflies so I made her into a sprite that controls them.

I am very glad everything in the painting came across. I not so happy with the figure because I feel like she is too stiff but I am happy with the painting all the same. It is because it was for someone I care for very deeply is why it came out so well. This painting was a gift for my friend who modeled for the butterfly angel painting I have in display at DA.

I fight with my color use a lot. I think it is because I illustrate children's books so I am inclined to use high saturation colors. but this one allowed be to use it with out fear. thanks for the comment. Sorry it took me so long.
