FULL VIEW PLEASE!

Hi, this is the first painting from that special someone I keep talking about. Isn't it beautiful!!! At first it was just going to be a b/w drawing, but she decided to color it on photoshop The image of the fairy will be most likely used in a collaboration between us. Her fairy and my special backgrounds, hehe. Just need to think of a good background that will do the character justice. It will be painted by me, but her figure and ideas will be in it too. Someday hopefully she will paint with me or maybe paint my ideas, haha. I hope you love it as much as I do Please be kind and supportive. She is nervous about submitting her work next to mine, I tell her she is silly and that it's great art Thanks, Jonathon

Hi, I'm the woman who painted this picture I really enjoyed creating and painting this image It started as a black and white drawing of a fairy in a beautiful dress...but the more I looked at it the more I wanted to paint it add color and life I picked these colors to evoke emotion and bring the colors to life to express how she is changing and evolving into a butterfly While creating it I thought that as she faces the light she begins to change into a butterfly, a part of God's beautiful creation that brings life and joy. I thought to myself we are hidden like a butterfly That there comes a time when we find ourselves and we change into something so beautiful To me her colors express God's handiwork, the beauty inside each of us. His hand which creates so much beauty that is hidden at first but when the time is right it explodes out of each and everyone of us. So I guess there comes a time in our lives when we out grow the space in which we live. We have a sense that something is changing within us. It is time for us to move and make significant life decisions. Jesus is calling us "our time has come" so like a caterpillar we transform into a beautiful butterfly. Our life is like a butterfly, its time to break free from our fears and insecurities, we must throw away our cocoon because it is hiding things about us that are not true anymore. God knows what is best for us . He knows how much to push to bring us out. He wants to blow the ashes away and replace them with beauty. No more sorrow, no more hurt. Its okay to laugh, to hope and to allow change. Like a butterfly its time to take flight, allow change, break free from our surroundings
look up! our time has come. Hehe, thank you for reading my thoughts on my painting, my ideas. I hope it gives you joy like the joy I felt while creating it Thanks, Rebecca
