Blue Morpho

Painting by Vicky Christensen, mixed media on 12 x 12 inch canvas 

Today's painting started with leftover paint on a small canvas. With the addition of Inktense block shavings, glass bead gel, some spritzes of water and more paint it turned into a Blue Morpho butterfly. I painted the butterfly on a Golden acrylic grounds for pastels skin then used gloss gel to glue it on the painting.
