Description
This insect perched for a second or so on the tulips by the bench and its bright cushion,and left me with an image perfect for the 'flattening of the picture plane' which I so enjoy.

Outstanding work Andrea. God bless.
A lovely peacock and great work.
Beautiful!!
Nicely done!
Nice work, that is a beautiful butterfly, do we often think enough about the wonderful beauty of them?...we cannot compete with nature.
this is so cool Great capture and postwork
It took a ZOOM to really appreciate your digifiddled picture plane efforts, Andrea.
A lovely Peacock butterfly and beautiful postwork!
First of all, you are so lucky to catch this speedy beastie - and then the posterization really changes the feel of the whole capture and makes it appear more like a fabric pattern - wicked work Andrea, BB
Ditto the above..great work.
Spectacular. The post work really helps it stand out from the background. First class work.
So well camouflaged it looks one with the background.
Amazing work
complex beauty
I do like that flat look you get with this technique. Lovely result!
Wow! So lovely, I could easily imagine a Hawaiian shirt print of this! I don't think those butterflies live here, at least I've only ever seen them over there. Lucky you!
Oh, I'm a huge fan of your plane-flattening. And the thing about it is, you create depth via everything else. The hues you get from each little colony, and how they relate to the hues around them, and the thick outlines around some of the edges both add the feeling of depth to the 'landscape'. Another joy from these pieces is that, as we travel through your highly complex colonies and eddies and tide pools, we also step back and see the butterfly, tulips, bench, etc---so we're weaving in and out of two worlds. Then, when we leave the butterfly etc, we dive back into the tide pools, molds, chipped surfaces, etc. Very rich. Everything of yours deserves zoom, but pieces like this are transformed by zoom (and I'm depressed to see there are only 5, of which I am one); because in zoom, these treatments open up like peeking through the clouds in a plane: Suddenly you're presented with an infinite landscape of forms and hues, and you're so glad the clouds cleared. Just beautiful, just beautiful.
