Description
Here's a new series of butterflies, Monarch Butterflies, that I've "raised" on my "Farm"! It started with a few caterpillars and then a couple of cocoons and then some Milkweed and then some more Milkweed, etc., etc. As of 9/29/2016, I have released more than 36! And I didn't start to count the first few batches, so probably closer to 60-70 all together!

Julie, thank you! There is a software program, called Topaz and they have a "plug-in" called Impression and they have ALL these different "effects" that can be added to any photo, like I did here. I added it to the entire image and then removed it from the butterfly......

I like what you did here. It's an interesting effect and makes me wonder what you used to make it. It marries the painterly and the photographic in a beautiful way. The colors a gorgeous, all the different greens with broad strokes, just great. Also your story about raising the Monarchs is terrific and makes me think of trying that. I always let the Milkweeds grow so if any Monarchs come around they have what they need. I applaud your artistry and your care for our environment.
