Butterflies Dancing (2022) Patagonia

Butterflies Dancing (2022) PatagoniaOil on canvas 30 x 40 in Autumn leaves lift and scatter like wings in motion across the forest floor, echoing the movement of butterflies without depicting a single one. Shafts of light strike the birch trunks and undergrowth, creating a rhythm of colour and shadow that blurs the boundary between falling, drifting, and flying. The painting captures the brief moment when decay becomes celebration when the end of the season feels weightless. Exhibition
