naughton321 says:

wow - that's amazing jaki, what an incredibly vivid pearlescent blue!

Damien Hirst (brit artist) did an amazing series of works with butterfly wings. They wer incredibly beautiful (I went to the showing) but also disturbing because one wondered if they had effectively been 'harvested' to make the works.

This pic deserves all the awards this site has to offer. This clarity is amazing. I love the composition. Everything is just wonderful. I feel like I could just reach out and touch the wings. Just a little extra info. I have a tatoo on my hip of a butterfly that is the exact same color. GREAT work of art!!!! WOW !!!!!
