This was a painting sample that I made to show my art students how to use simple shaped flowers and butterflies to make a colorful painting. I used only primary colors plus white to teach them how to mix colors. All the colors were achieved by mixing the three primary colors, plus white or black. I couldn't think of a name for it, so I posted it on Facebook and held a "name that painting" contest. The winner gave it the name and got a free print.

I call myself a painter of hope. My paintings are the visual songs and prayers of my heart, exploring the mysteries of life and bringing love and healing to the soul and spirit. My art brings the mysteries of Heaven down to earth in a visual way to touch hearts and point people to our loving Heavenly Father and His only begotten son, Jesus Christ. Watercolor, mixed media, acrylics, or colored pencils have been my weapons of choice with brilliant colors to brighten and delight the soul. Representational themes from nature inspire most of my art. I see God’s fingerprints on all creation. The more I get into art, the more spiritually aware I am and the closer to God I become. I want my art to touch people at the gut level, where no words...
