BY NANCY TILLES
The butterfly is a living sculpture
of stained glass. I have always enjoyed the patterns of color
outlined in black by the butterfly's veins.
The inspiration and the credit for
these beautiful butterflies comes from Butterfly World in Broward
County. Butterfly World has the most beautiful indoor/outdoor
aviary for butterflies, birds and flowers. The garden is a delight
to the senses. Color is everywhere. Beautiful music calms the
mood and enhances the setting. Adults and children hunt with
their cameras for just the right shot.
The Piano Key butterflies were the
most plentiful and they were on an important mission. Where
ever there was one there were usually others dancing in the air
together or in wait. I called the center painting "Butterfly
Seduction". The original oil painting is 36" x 48".
The four butterfly portraits pictured on each side measure
24" x 24".
