Description This piece is in my ongoing saga of answering the question What is Beauty? I try to raise the question with this one... If a butterfly is made of bones... is it still beautiful?

Now that's awesome. I would be a little creeped out at first, but hey, i could see it as beautiful!

*chuckles* That's part of the idea. After the realization, the (perhaps) horror, would one be able to look past it?

Thank you.

I've been pursuing the idea of 'what is beauty' for a long time. About to finish another piece along those lines of thinking.

Thanks!

The answer is 'yes'.
Very surreal; it reminds me of Dali and Magritte. Excellent shading, I noticed.

Really awesome very creative, I love the way that the 'legs' and 'antennae' of the butterfly are made out of hand and finger bones so that they mirror your own hand... I think it's still a beautiful butterfly I really like the way the grass in the background looks, too... almost hypnotic

woah.. this is fantastic.. i'm sure it must be so stunning in person.. to really see and experience.. your shading and skill is impressive and the thought behind it... i know i should be thinking of beauty and form but i cant stop thinking of how heavy bone is versus how light your butterfly seems... its a wonderful contrast...

I know I've seen this one before.... I can't remember if it was a student showcase, or if it was one that you showed me or what. This has been one of my favorites by you though.
