I just want to take some time to show an artwork piece by a local artist.  Her name is Lori Barnes, and she has a God given talent.  To say the least, I am very impressed with her work.

Lori is a dear friend of mine.  She knows how much I like purple & lilacs.  She gifted this piece to me for Christmas.

She tells me that the butterfly is a Clouded Sulphur Butterfly.  Although I’ve never seen one, I’ve seen pictures on the Internet, and her painting of the butterfly is precise.

What I find amazing about her art, is not only the detail, and that is is painted on a piece of slate, but the size of her art work piece.

It’s only 3″ long by 2 1/2″ wide!

I’m glad that I got the chance to share such a talent with all of you.

Thank you Lori, for such an amazing gift.

Happy Creating everyone!
