MichaelWhelan , 16 days ago PERSPICACITY (2001) Acrylic on Panel - 12" x 12" Also known as VIEWPOINT. This is a tangent point between The End of Nature paintings and The Virtues. For me, the butterfly represents the fleeting nature of life. https://www.michaelwhelan.com/galleries/perspicacity/ #personalvisions #imaginativerealism #fineart #virtues #endofnature Close detail from PERSPICACITY showcasing the yellow butterfly perched on the woman's knee. A small ammonite fossil dangles down on a long chain threaded between her fingers. Her hands, accented with many silver rings, rest on the folds of her lavender robes.
