okay, so this was a request and it challenged me. i wasn't satisfied with the first window, so i started over. my dad called at just the right time...we call that a "Godincident"or "God wink". I was ready to toss the window that i wasn't happy with out my home window that i paint by! he reminded me that when you try new things (which i'd done with this particular painting), sometimes you fail...and that's okay. his suggestion was to get a up of coffee (okay, i have to admit i was in as soon as he said that!), grab a sketchbook and pray for direction. and, man, oh man, the ideas came aflowin'. ;-) that's actually when i got the flower/peace sign idea and also this one. the little girl that it's for loves butterflies and flowers...and the challenge to me, pastels. this window took much longer than i anticipated and i do hope anna loves it! (i added a second picture of a "closer look" because the flowers are the details of the butterfly and i wasn't sure that they showed up well in the regular picture.) this one i finished about a week ago. more to follow that i finished today.
