Bali, I am seriously considering trying to paint that butterfly on something. I have a couple of metal circles out there. I think they were lids or something like that. I was wondering what to paint on them. I think this might be it It wont be anytime soon, but I will put it on my list of things to do. LOL
Beautiful pictures!! I've enjoyed them very much.
