Comment from Daphne Oberon
Lovely combination of accuracy combined with natural spontaneity in this realistic "colour sketch"! The petals of the iris flower are so soft and natural, the butterfly so spontaneous in its position -- you can still feel the motion from the landing in its posture... This is just lovely! Thanks for sharing!

The butterfly is anything but simple, I really appreciate the way you have positioned it on the purple flower, the butterfly is well created with good shape and structure , nice attention to the details , well chosen and applied colors , the flower is beautiful , it appears to be a type of Iris . This is well created, beautifully arranged and presented, Nice entry for the contest! Best wishes to you !

Haha ! Pat I now see your right side up version. That is interesting a view that I can see both ways. This is a miniature I did a while ago on an ATC now you have me wondering how I made it :) ? Question.. do you think it is better right side up?

I still see it sideways , because it is sideways , I assumed it was upload this way, however, if it was your intention to present it this way, then leave it, it is still a lovely pairing , I will look again if you see changed .
