I love the colors of the background and the silhouettes. It's moving to me.

This is a nice silhouette. I like that you showed hands reaching over the ocean to let go of the butterfly. The background and everything amazes me.

I absolutely love this! I love how it can be as simple as a butterfly, or you can go into depth about what the picture may mean. It's awesome!

Yes, you should try more silhouettes- you seem to have a knack for them! I love this one- recently I've been very into butterflies!

Thanks everyone! Sorry the resolution isn't all that great-- It's really difficult to take a picture of a painting! LOL! I can't wait to make another -- I will this summer :D

Of course! But unforunately, it won't be for a while. School doesn't give me enough time during the day to do art, and since I have no art class, I can't make anything during school either.
