As I began the initial sketching, my plans of creating a painting with a masculine energy seemed to elude me. As the vision of a Monarch (Wanderer) butterfly appeared persistently in my minds eye, I thought “No”, “Not another butterfly?” As much as I love them, I felt it would defuse the masculine energy.

A walk will clear my mind and assist with this decision. Was I right! A massive Monarch butterfly flew directly in front of me landing on the parked car beside me. Startled, I stopped, placed my hand on the car bonnet and watched in amazement as this little messenger climbed onto my hand! Um, ok I guess that’s a yes. Just so I’m convinced, two days later I pick up a library book on watercolour painting and guess what I open the page to? …. a Monarch butterfly! Gotta love divine guidance.
