I'm Not Bossy, I Just Have Better Ideas

I completed the watercolor of my grandsons, Ethan stading over Garrett. The colors I hope make the people come more to life

The first started out okay but seemed less real about the skin tones.

I hope this is what my daughter wanted. I better send it up soon before the grandsons grow up beyond this picture.

Metamorphosis

I have been asked to paint a series sowing the progression from a caterpillar to a butterfly. This is now just in the beginning stages, but the first image is of a caterpillar emerging from the egg. The next image is of a mature caterpillar of a Monarch Butterfly. These could also be used in the Arts of the Covenant show in October for the Patterns and Rhythms of Nature.
