I love this moth. It's like painting a rainbow...just so pretty. I started on it today. I will take lots of progress pics since it is so huge (36" x 36"). I worked on it some more and added the stripes and dots. I noticed that the spots are not identical on each side like other butterflies. I did some more work on this today. I am hoping to finish it today so I can bring it to the show tomorrow. Gotta love acrylics. If this were oil I wouldn't be able to move it for weeks.
