One of my friends is an amazing photographer of birds and insects. She has been asking me to do a Monarch Butterfly for a while. This is only 8 x 8 inches and was fun to do. I am working on a second one, so this one is not alone.

I have artist friends that only paint landscapes, and some only paint seascapes. I am always looking for something to paint and love suggestions from friends. I think I have a rather bright / free style of painting. I can usually tell my mood, by the colors I select for my paintings. I do love the look of dark and moody paintings, but it is just not my personality.

It would be wonderful to find exactly what my style is, and stick to one look. There are so many different ways and things to paint, how do you settle on just one look? Maybe I would be more successful selling my work, if I stuck to one style. Oh well, not today!
