Holy Cow Butterfly

Holy Cow! Butterfly #54  -  Graphic Illustration  -  2.23.12



The Cow

    The friendly cow all red and white,
    I love with all my heart:
    She gives me cream with all her might,
    To eat with apple-tart.

    She wanders lowing here and there,
    And yet she cannot stray,
    All in the pleasant open air,
    The pleasant light of day;

    And blown by all the winds that pass
    And wet with all the showers,
    She walks among the meadow grass
    And eats the meadow flowers.

- by Robert Louis Stephenson


In honor of my friend Anne Woerner, Happy Birthday!

Familija Leptir  #49  -  Ink Doodles, Mixed Media  2.18.12



The Butterfly Family
They dance and cling to air, swirling in space, 
fluttering in secret, living in joy. 
Together, they fly as one and are never alone.

Happy Valentine's Day!

hearts a flutter - silver, acrylic on canvas  2-14-12


The Butterfly

    As love falls down from the sky,
It lands on the wings of a butterfly.
The butterfly sings it's songs and rhymes,
And flies through the air, No concept of time.
It is the messenger of patience and change,
From flower to flower, it's odd and it's strange.
The butterfly can transform it's world.
And give way to new beginnings, unfurled,
It is the keeper of transformation,
And flies on faith and imagination.
The butterfly has no fear of change,
It bravely escapes it's homemade cage.
To change, it knows is necessary,
For all the burdens we need not carry.
The butterfly soars, and merrily sings,
For, without change, it could never grow wings.

LOOK THROUGH EYES OF HOPE AND SEE
A BUTTERFLY INSIDE THE CATERPILLAR,
HOPE KNOWS THAT BEAUTY IS WAITING TO BE
BORN IN THE UNLIKELIEST PLACES ...
