Description

This started out as a doodle of a surreal butterfly combined with peacock feathers which I love, then the developed into a painting. The wings are heavy, made of steel and copper and have the blue and pink tones of oxidised metal...

The painting has now developed further to become the basis of my new website which can be seen here:

http://www.bohemianbutterfly.co.uk

The original is huge at 2362 x 1772 and is very detailed. It took about a week to complete - all in Photoshop, and no references

Wow that's lovely! I love the combination of the peacock feathers (which I love too!) and the butterfly shape...
I really love the color choices :) I am not sure about the background color for this though... But I just checked your website, and it really looks surprisingly well with this butterfly!
The whole concept is very graceful and very elegant, I really like it :)Congratulations! (+8 btw :))

Thanks for the comments and votes :) I've changed the background back from the slight gradient to the original brown/grey tone of the website :)

Just visited your website...nice...I never had you pegged as a goth...but looking at your artwork it's now like 'oh yeah'...lol....but like a happy goth!...I have a freind, Ant, he's a whistling Goth...maybe you know him! (joke).

Nice pic BTW...and it looks much nicer with the extra 'air' around it and the typography (as seen on your site).

Right I'm off to dig out my 'type O negative' and 'jack off jill' cd's...heehee

Ex darling, EX-goth lol

The butterfly does look better with more space. If I get chance i'll re-frame this one. Thanks for the comments :)

interesting!! the colors are very attractive.. and magical!! especially those speckles on the antennae.. however, the outline lines on the wings and the body are so thick (i guess).. it defeats the smoothness of the whole thing.. but anyway, it's all good! impressive :p
