Kim,

Do you see this butterfly? Why, do you think it has the images of the eyes of an owl on it's wings? Because it scares animals it would not do otherwise.

I responded to Tim's mentioning of the word offensive. Your painting is scary, not offensive. Eventually it is an irritating and annoying pose. Try to imagine someone looking at that child you love and know personally that does not know that child. And think about the reason why that butterfly has those eyes on it.

Since this is a forum about portrait-painting we give you (or try to give you) advice directed at that part of your artistic output.

Peter
