Holy cow, congrats on 400! Very cool butterfly – the posture and legs give it an almost human aspect, which is a bit scary! Wonderful shape to it.
Thank you Cindy!

Congratulations for your beautiful butterfly and your great work … 400th !!!
Thank you very much Belen!
Cairns Birdwing buterfly, right?
I have no idea-artistic license;)
Oh well. Part of painting is leaving most of the work to the viewers imagination. In that case I thought to identify the butterfly. =)
No, that’s fine! I enjoy learning the proper names of nature’s creatures! Please keep it up, much appreciated,
I know you poured your heart and soul into your work and I am very grateful to you for your effort and your generosity upon sharing with us your talent and creativity.
Your luminous work throws light on dark places and brings joy into saddened lives.
The caterpillar does all the work but the butterfly gets all the publicity. 🙂
There may be a caterpillar coming your way Marcelo;) I thank you very much for your kind words and support. Much appreciated:)
Congratulations on so much excellent creativity, Elena! I love the delicate Friday Flight.
Thanks much Karen!

Oh and I’ve enjoyed every one I’ve seen so thanks for that 😀
My pleasure entirely:) Thanks for your support Helen.

Thanks for you wonderful insight and support!
Love this butterfly and all 400 of your creative posts! Kudos.
Thanks so much Eldy! Much appreciated:)
Congratulation! I am 350 🙂
We must have started it around the same time, mine was last September. It’s no race, just for pleasure but the number rang a bell so I checked mine.
Your posts are always refreshing, thanks for sharing, have a lovely weekend!
Before you know it…Thanks for your support!
Beautiful work:)
Thank you Andrea!
Congrats, Elena! Here’s to making them 4000 and then 40000 and then ….always creative posts!
🙂
Thanks ever so much Marina!
Four hundred?! Wow, I’m at 125, lol – I’ll be many years older before I get to this point. Congratulations and hope there are 400 more, I love your creative posts. Like this beauty – full of elegance through the lines and gorgeous blend of colors.
You are so kind Mary. 400 posts will happen before you know it! Thanks for your support:)

Hello Elena, I love the colours and fluidity of this one…Xx
Thank you Jane!
Congratulations on your 400th post. I reached that mark earlier this week. When I started writing I took it one day at a time. Little did I know that I would still be here 400 post later. I think I’m hooked.
Me too:) Congrats to you as well!
Congratulations on your 400th blog post!!! Wow! that’s totally awesome 😀
