ABOUT THE PAINTING


"Bendecida por mil mariposas amarillas" (Blessed by a Thousand Yellow Butterflies) is a painting that took me over a year and a half to finish, I started it in May 2023. I feel like this painting, the time it took me to finish it, is partly responsible for a creative block. The ideas are there, a lot of them, but I am incapable of starting a new painting if I have one in progress. At the time I started it I was interrupted many times, by work and things in life, and the months went by, and the more they went by, the more intimidated I became to continue it because I had left the mindset that led me to paint it, we were disconnected. From time to time I would give it a few brush strokes here and there, but it wasn't until last month that I seriously sat down with the goal of finishing it, and we finally got here.


Yellow butterflies are my favorite in the world, especially the "phoebis sennae", which are quite common here. I find its yellow tone beautiful, it's a color that, although I don't use it often in my paintings, I love to admire it, it's one of my favorites, it does good to my soul. The painting can be perceived as a little tense, perhaps, because of the number of hands holding me, but they don't want to sink me, but to make me focus. That hand that holds your face and urges you to look up; count your blessings and be thankful for them.


ART SUPPLIES USED


I painted this piece with the lightfast premium watercolors Schmincke Horadam, Sennelier and QoR, on acid free, 100% cotton, hot-press 300gr watercolor paper by the brand Arches. And, at the end, I sprayed this painting with a few layers of Krylon UV resistant coating for its optimal preservation.
