The Power

_{WHERE IS MY DELICIOUS TEXTURE
DUMBASS SCANNER ATE IT ALL}

Guess what, I like butterflies.
And I only have like, what, five deviations that actually have butterflies in them? Nonsense. There will be more, I assure you.

Yet another assignment for art class. I'm hitting serious crunch time right now. Basically by Monday I have to complete another 8 or so pieces. Not all of them are huge, only like 5 or so. Which will probably be uploaded as I finish them. Guh. Damn my procrastination habits.

So this one needs a little explanation. The theme was "nature" and we were told to interpret it. Which is to say, don't draw a toad in the grass or a big tree or something. Something that reflects your interpretation of nature.
This is what I came up with. I wanted to run with the idea that when left to it's own devices, Nature will take over/reign/revert to its original state. So my painting was to be of a butterfly of sorts on an old decaying and moss-covered brick wall, with a rusted plaque. The plaque was to represent the human race, the more dominating and civilized part of it. I was lost for what to write on the plaque, but my dad gave me the idea of the Pentagon. I ran with that idea 'cause I loved it.

Soo I hope you enjoy. My teacher loved this.

Oh yeah, and done almost completely with watercolours, acrylics were only used for the little white highlights on the butterfly. And it's a swallowtail butterfly.
