A delicate butterfly rests on a blooming flower, as if the world has paused just for this quiet moment. I painted this scene thinking about stillness—the kind that lets you breathe deeper and notice beauty you usually rush past. The gentle colors and soft details invite you to linger, the way I did while bringing it to life. Every time I look at it, I feel a calm joy, and I hope it gives you the same sense of wonder and peace.
