Painted for themed challenge: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

August of 2008, I had been on a walk. I really do enjoy what we call weeds.

What makes us admire one plant as a flower and another a weed?

In general, we apply a similar formula to people.

Back to the thistle and the butterfly, there he was on this thistle that offered him so little.

A resting place, at most. Sometimes our needs are that basic. Maybe he needed more, who is to know? But the thistle is what it is. At its end, an amazing structure that captures the late afternoon sunlight. If I were a butterfly maybe I'd want to touch it too. Okay, I'm not a butterfly and I always want to touch them.

This original painting is for sale and prints can be ordered.
