Santa Barbara had another great year of street painting despite the recent fires. My sponsor was Carol Ostroff CPA - I've had the same sponsor the last 3 years & she is great! After painting butterflies in my Mother Nature painting in Houston, I was excited to try some more. So, I chose to do a reproduction of a Sophie Anderson's Butterfly Fairy. I love the image with the velvety butterflies, flowing blonde hair, & little satin sachel the fairy is holding. The butterflies came out especially vibrant by using some home-made pastels. The colors are more rich and velvety...especially that dark blue one.
