Description
When you get a creative impuls
it is like a beautiful butterfly
landing on your hand
You have to catch it now
But you say
I have no time today
too much to do
and put it in a box
until another day
Then you open the box
just to find a grey skeleton
And you say
Oh, how could I see so wrong
it seemed so beautiful then.
--ooo--
Just some preview ponderings about
the coming January theme in 2D Forum,
about new year- new beginnings- creation
or something like that

Vote! Have to hurry back in my box - many things need to be cleaned up - another beginneing.
Beauitiful piece! I like the hand position, very natural for viewing a butterfly.
Eine reizende Abbildung . . . ! Leuchtende Farben und Beschaffenheit . . . !
Now this one is really looks like russian avant-garde from the beginning of 20-th century! And they took their inspiration from byzantine icons, you know... beautiful hand :-) And the background, too :-)
The picture alone is so beautiful - the golden tone gives warmth and depth. And the text brings the depth of your thoughts. So true - so imaginative.:-D
Beautifully done!!
Lovely, so full of mood and emotion.
Most be a day for butterflies..lol ...very nicely done Gun but I really do like alot of what you do keep them coming and thanks for sharing..^v^Julia
Beautiful! I really like the deep, warm colours.
Yes - Let the Inspiration flow :)
I agree, creative impulse is so very fragile... This image is beautiful!
It is a shame that we all can't answer the creative call the moment it hits, and that life itself has to get in the way. But, when the juices flow and time allows, you come up with an artistic beauty like this one :)
Very wise, it's always good to follow your Muse whenever she passes by, even if it means going to bed later than you planned ;-)
Once again your delicate and understated work amazes me
Great work. Very rich in style. Beautiful colours and texture.
