Pearl Crescent Butterfly
by Natee
Pearl crescent butterfly (Phyciodes tharos).
Watercolour and gouache on vintage J. Whatman paper from 1940, painted area approximately 110 x 65 mm.
I documented the process of painting this piece on this Twitter thread, in case anyone is interested!
Real talk. I often get a serious plunge after completing an involved piece of work wherein I really do think ‘what’s the point?’ So it was with this one. The awareness of the labour isn’t remotely commensurate with what I now feel looking at it, which is generally ‘meh.’
This doesn’t negate the fact that I still wish for those efforts and whatever merits the piece may have to be recognised. My pride is no less injured when they aren’t. It’s complicated. So I sincerely thank those of you who do see them. Thank you.
