Inspirational Metal Art: Basket of Butterflies

Earlier this year I received a request to do a commission of three metal paintings featuring young women. The commission was for a young women's institution with a focus on leadership. So I wanted to do paintings which were inspirational and which at the same time captured the essence of young women. While working on the commission I created a few other paintings and this is one of them. The butterfly is symbolic of inspiration, flight and freedom.

As the sun sets on the horizon I watch it go down,
Tomorrow my new life will start,
In the gentle glow of dawn.

When love interrupts the pattern of your life
It creates a chaotic yet beautiful new design.

I move in waves of tranquility across the sea of life.

After the rain comes the sun
Nothing stays constant in this world of ours
Old lives must die and new ones be born.

Beautiful and delicate givers of life
Mothers are transformed
With the birth of their child

JUNE: A TIME TO RE-CONSIDER
STOP!
For just one moment and consider
Save a moment of life just to ponder
The middle is always a good place to linger
When you have thoughts to re-consider

JULY: DANCING ACROSS THE STAGE OF LIFE
Dancing across the stage of life
Three sisters together dancing through time
Forming colorful, moving designs
That flow and change with the patterns of their lives

AUGUST: A SENSE OF EASE
(PLAYING MY OWN TUNE)
As I grow older and time passes me by
I begin to realize that this life is mine
To create and destroy and do as I please
And with this realization I am filled with ease

SEPTEMBER: SHEDDING MY LEAVES
As the leaves change color and begin to fall
I release the weight I am carrying and shed it all
No need for baggage that weighs me down
I am traveling light from this day on

OCTOBER: MOVING SLOW
Time will pass whether I move fast or slow
Therefore it matters not at which pace I go
What matters more is how
I spend each and every hour

NOVEMBER: GRATITUDE
My pot runneth over with tears of gratitude
For the love in my life and the plenitude

We gather at the table to celebrate the close of the year
With family and friends from far and near
What is a celebration without those we hold dear
