“Winged Royalty” ©2011 Barbara J. Mason
16"x20" ” carved watercolor painting
This time of year I love seeing the monarch butterflies just before they migrate south to warmer climate. Their free spirited flight and bold colored wings are captivating to watch. In this painting I have carved and manipulated the paper to give the butterfly wings a 3-d effect. When the image is viewed up close different portions project and stand out from the background. Your eyes are suddenly following along with the movement of the paper folds creating a colorful pattern of flight, much like that of the "winged royalty" monarch butterfly.
I have several of these uniquely "carved watercolor paintings "available at
"Spirit of Texas" art exhibit at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, TX.
The exhibit is open from Nov. 4th through Dec. 31st, 2011.
Opening Reception: November 5th, 11am-4pm
