    Nice spring shot of a swallowtail, Stuart. I like the one petal that is hanging on by a thread

    the pink contrasts well with the butterfly. Caught it in a good, open stance.

    Really nice colors, with the red/purple and yellow being complimentary and the green adding a perfect base for them. Nice job with the oil paint, looks great!

    Lovely image and composition, with the bright pink flowers and the beautiful pose of the butterfly with open wings, further filling the frame with an upward diagonal swept of the right wing. That lower curved sweep of a thin green petal nicely counterbalances the sweep of the butterfly wing. Nice blended bkgd full of greens and bits of other natural colors.
