A very beautiful seasonal painting of the Christmas tree with coloured glass balls & white Butterflies flying around it. Created by your artist's eye for composition very skilful brushwork beautiful choice & blending of your colours in bringing this scene to life on your canvas.

Great acrylic paint and ink of this Butterfly Christmas Ray. Wouldn't it be something if you buy a tree and it comes with transparent butterflys that just fly circles around the tree until boxing day lol. Great colours, ornaments and butterflys. I like the abstact background. Well done and good luck in the contest :-)

Completely charming Ray! What a lovely concept and so fresh feeling! I like the different butterflies in flight and perched on the tree and the nice details of the green limbs and colored balls. This is surely a winner and I wish I could give you a six! Best wishes for the contest.

This is such a beautiful Christmas Tree. I really love how you have painted the crystal and colorful Christmas ball. They look real and like a photograph especially its shiny textures and shape. The shapes are well defined and consistent. Those white butterflies made the scene magical. I also like the brown and earth tone colors that you have choose as a background. It looks like a hard wood. Ray, this is one of your finest painting and this deserves a SIX.

    Nieves, I like when you say that. I planned this one and enjoyed doing it. I thought what happens in warmer climates, I love butterflies and the other pollinators, sweet candy canes would attract any insect looking for nourishment and then I thought of butterflies and that was that. I am so glad you enjoy it. Thank you for your wonderful review, rating and compliments. Ray

Love that your imagination came up with this idea Ray!!!!! Lacey translucent butterflies flying around a Christmas tree! That is definitely one sight I'd love to see! I can imagine their wings picking up the Christmas tree lights and becoming almost opalescent. So breathtaking! This must be a tree somewhere deep in the forest that only fairies see. It is stunning! Love the way you decorated the tree and created the butterflies! This more than deserves six stars! Creativity and vision is off the charts! Good luck in the Contest! :o) Nancy

    Wow Thank you so much Nancy for your amazing review, rating and compliments. I thought of Christmas in a warmer climates and decorated trees outside. Putting sweet candy canes like the ones you like :) I thought of all the sweetness and I thought Butterflies love sweetness and the rest is history. I am so glad you enjoyit. Ray

What a gorgeous piece of Christmas art! The bulbs look tangible. The idea of butterflies on your tree is unusual one and I like to see something nontraditional for a change. I am happy to see this contest. It has definitely inspired me to create something fun for the season!
Hope y'all are having a good December and are looking forward to love and laughter together.

    Jewell Thank you so much for your great review, rating and kind thoughts. I figured there are so many places in the world where butterflies flourish and where trees are decorated for Christmas is being celebrated. What would happen if they got together and those were my thoughts about this piece. Ray
Comment from suffolkbrian


Strange concept having butterflys around a christmas tree [something us photographers would not get] guess thats where art has an advantage in you can do what suits you,but this is a good piece of artwork and very detailed....brian

    Brian that is what I been trying to explain to you. As an artist I try to create beauty and as a photographer you try to capture scenes and things that are beautiful in you eyes, so there is a difference. Ray
