I was driving on the way out to the countryside, visiting my mother in fact, and went through a stretch of road clouded by monarch butterflies. There were so many of them, it would be impossible to count, and they darkened my windshield as they died in the thousands. It was a tragedy, and I couldn't stop it from happening. Oh, I pulled over for a few moments, but the damage was done not only by me but by other cars.
Such pretty colour, splashed everywhere. Beauty and sadness, all in the same brief moments.
Anyway, it became the gestation of a painting. The paint I used in layers for this piece, and had some exciting things happening within the layers.
