No Worries, watercolor Bloom Where you Are Planted, a poured Watercolor

Dancing, flitting butterflies. I think of them at this time of year, just before Easter, as a promise of hope, new life, and resurrection. 

I have painted them, made them out of handmade paper and just enjoyed them. The painting, Resurrection 3, has butterflies from all parts of the world bursting forth from the tomb. A symbol of resurrection and new life. (Image above)

Last week I was in the Butterfly Gardens in Victoria, BC. There were so many butterflies a couple of times one landed on me. As my granddaughter, Emery, is 2 and a half this year, she engaged with all the animals and butterflies. It was fun to see her delight. Emery’s new little sister, slept through it all.

I spent time tring to capture this fast blue butterfly that looks brown when it's wings are folded.

Have a Happy Easter Weekend. May you find hope and new life stirring around you!
