It's been a while but so glad to finish, "Ferry Lights"  an acrylic painting on 16 x 20 canvas.

 A few years back i painted a triptych of a Japanese chrysanthemum, I titled it Eastern Sunrise and it comprised 3 12 x 24" panels.  After it sold I used  that same size triptych layout to create, The Butterfly Effect.  The beautiful sky was from a photo I took when I was in Northern Ireland.  And then I added the butterflies.  One small gesture can create a huge effect,  make it a good one.

 The Butterfly effect In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. The final answer, look it up.

 A Good friend lent me a photo she took of the sunset from her home.  I just knew it needed some birds.  I had just been up in the Skagit Vallery north of here and seen some of the hundreds of Tundra Swans the come there every spring.  I decided it definitely needed swans.  They make so much honking sound I decided to title it, Trumpeters.  Acrylic on 15 x 30 canvas.  It has been SOLD

 I was invited to a plein aire gathering where we met and painted out doors.  During that time the sky put on an amazing show, a sun dog with a double rainbow.  Honest it looked just like this.

I started this with a pale blue background and when I painted the leaves in water color of course it shown throught.  I decided it looked like leaves in a puddle for painted the cracked ice with acrylic and titled it
