WAITING FOR THE BUTTERFLIES - An original watercolor painting by Danita

I learned that if you sit very still in the forest, the butterflies will come and fly around you, and some of them will rest on you if you are very, very still. It's amazing.

Inspired by that experience in the forest, I painted myself, sitting on a toadstool and surrounded by butterflies. I painted them using a special golden painting I found on trip to Mexico, and they shimmer beautifully with the light!

I am wearing a red bow, a blue blouse and a beautiful matching dress, and everything is mixed in with a beautiful watercolor green background.
