Flutter

by Alexandra Verhoven

“It is blue-butterfly day here in spring,
And with these sky-flakes down in flurry on flurry
There is more unmixed color on the wing
Than flowers will show for days unless they hurry. ” -Robert Frost

This is a mixed media piece that was created with pastels, colored pencil, ink, and watercolors. Metallic watercolor paints were used for the butterflies so that they shine when light hits it at a certain angle.

This piece is 8″ x 8″ with a half inch border for matting and framing and comes UNFRAMED.

Alexandra Verhoven

Alexandra (b. 1994) is an artist based in Toms River, New Jersey.

Alexandra creates oil paintings and mixed media drawings depicting figurative, imaginative realism art. She attempts to give form to things that are insubstantial, such as goals, dreams, and feelings of hope and longing. Elegant characters inhabit ethereal atmospheres that encompass their story. Her use of lighting creates ephemeral scenes that are meant to encourage the viewer to insert their own experiences with fleeting feelings and special moments in their lives.

Her painting technique is inspired by classical methods of oil painting involving a tonal underpainting, and color built up over multiple layers.

Her drawings are mixed media pieces often utilizing graphite, charcoal and pan pastels along with many other experimental mediums.
