New Paintings: Butterflies

Recently, I finished the first three experimental paintings of Butterflies.  Last autumn, I raised 12 Painted Lady Butterflies.  I studied these beautiful little creatures as they developed from larvae, to caterpillars, to cocoons, to butterflies. Unfortunately I missed their emergence from their cocoons because they came out over a holiday weekend when I happened to be visiting relatives.  Please look at the first three paintings and let me know which one(s) you like the best!
