Monet once wrote "I would like to paint the way a bird sings." When I read this, I asked myself, "how does a bird sing?" He sings effortlessly, beautifully, and freely. He does so because he was created to, because God wishes him to, so that he might inspire us through it's beauty to reflect upon our Creator's benevolence. To paint the way a bird sings, an inspiring endeavor indeed!

I drew this butterfly in a colored pencil class I took about four years ago. I never pursued colored pencils after that simply because they were too restricting. For that same reason, I never was able to enjoy paint by numbers either.
