Swallowtail Butterfly by The_Adjudicator
#AjcrOriginal #Butterfly #Realism #NoTools #NoToolChallenge
Based on a picture I took of a butterfly feeding on nectar in Spring of 2OI9.
I believe I shared the original photo on my DA account (The_Adjudicator92).
Quick story time:
This was taken while participating in a service project in a garden. I spotted this one in the back and managed to take a few good pictures. ↓ Continued in Comments..

And it's a good thing I did take a few pictures when I did, because it wasn't five mintes later before I heard one of the young ladies shout "The dog caught a butterfly!". Looking in the direction where this picture was tsken, I was a self gratified golden retiever prancing to our group with this same butterfly in mouth. It was somehow the most morbid and adorable thing I'd seen watching Sam (the dog) lapping it up like a tasty chew toy.
Sad but true.

And life, like a little flame, dancing upon the wick of a candle, can be snuffed out and ended in an instant..
It's important to enjoy beauty like this while we can. It's one of the great reasons we have to find purpose while we live.

Better than ever most days. Work's been rough the last couple months with over time hours, but I can't complain.

No worries. I get what you're trying to say. No harm done. The system isn't perfect, and a lot of talented artists tend to go unnoticed. That's what I'm hoping to do with the Colors Legacy series. I'm starting with the older generation of artists, and will branch off to include the newer generation of artists when I get to that later, in hopes to help them kick off and start flying some day soon as well. We need to make this community bright and inspiring again. : )
