The Beauty and Fragility of Life

Medium
Painting - Watercolor - Digitally Enhanced
Description
I created this beautiful watercolor from a larger watercolor of mine, "A Life-changing Encounter". I digitally enhanced this print with interesting textures of light and shadows to create a nostalgic mood in order to focus on the beauty and fragility of this monarch butterfly's wings. As I look at the intricate design and patterns in the wings I can't help but be reminded that God has an intricate design and beautiful pattern for each one of our lives, too.β₯
