I enjoy drawing people in pencil a lot more.

❤️

Glad you still have it!

I was trying for “uplifting”.

Our doctors’ group used to sponsor a butterfly release every summer, so that is what gave me the idea for this.

That must be something to see.

But every participant was given a little box with a live butterfly inside. We’d all go outside and on the count of three open the boxes and see all the butterflies take off up into the sky. Usually there were about a hundred of us there, so it was a very cool thing to see. They’d make an afternoon out of it for us with entertainment and food. It was very nice.

Adding the 3 dimensional butterflies was an amazing thought.

I am sure your oncologist will love this work!

I hope she likes it, too!

Love your screen name.

I'm sure it will help cancer patients to be uplifted.

Are those real butterflies?

The butterflies are just made of paper. TY for your nice comments.

Hope you are doing well.

I’m doing great, cancer free for over a decade now.

As someone said up-thread, that's uplifting.

Thank you for sharing!

A house?? I’ve never even done a mural! Lol

So beautiful and positive.

You have a gift.

It’s something someone with a generous heart would do.

I’m sure the doctor will love it!

Now what did you do with Miss Scarlet ….

If you ever decide to have prints made I would purchase one for my oncologist. She'd love it.

I’m just a hobbyist so don’t know much about prints. But thank you for the nice words!

But it is lovely and one can hope. My oncologist is part of a clinic. I could see it in the infusion room. Anyway keep painting oh the 3D futterbys (I came up with that yesterday watching a butterfly) is marvelous.

I am not a creator but do enjoy the creativity of others.

Today is the best since Monday. I've been taking Paxlovid.

A perfect piece of artwork for an oncology office or facility…..

This is just beautiful!

and uplifting. It will help people entering your oncologist’s office.

Well done!

I like to paint too!

Do you post your work here too? Love to see others’ paintings!

It makes me want to look at it for a long time, so much detail. Very very nice!

But that is not only ORIGINAL, but it is absolutely STUNNING......

It reminds me of the style of one of the famous artists, but being ignorant, I can't remember which one....

You need to do more and sell them..........Personally rewarding, and financially rewarding at the same time.

Keep it up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe one of these days … I’m just a hobbyist right now … it takes me a long time to finish something and I just enjoy the process of it all.

Someone else told me it reminded them of the Impressionist style, which wasn’t my goal, but that was so flattering. I can’t begin to think I’ll ever be in that club.

that work piece overwhelmed me Double D

Butterflies emerging from a chrysalis are a sort of a symbol of the cancer patient being cured, so I wanted to incorporate that concept somehow. I am glad you like it.

upon seeing your exquisite piece,I immediately thought..wow, how great would it be to have Kamala releasing the butterflies...signifying the release of hope and transformation.

Of course,I understand that wouldn't be appropriate to modify your painting,but something similar could be memorable.

Is this something they commissioned, or is it a surprise?

But at my last checkup a year ago, we got to talking about the new office the practice moved into and all the blank walls, and my Doc mentioned if I painted something she’d be happy to hang it up. Do anything, she said. Thank You 3catwoman3!

more creators, less craters

My first thought, feeling actually, was my daughter playing in the field in back of our house. Took me right back there.
Thank you.

What a nice memory, I’m honored my painting brought that back for you!

Quite lovely!

I have family in Dallas ….

This painting is made with love,❤️

Thank you, lucca18!

Soooo much talent! Jealous. I can’t even draw a stick figure.

We’re even … cause I can’t carry a tune in a bucket!

To busy playing Speed Racer!

this and whose spirits will be lifted . Thank you for using your talent to help others.

It will be my honor and pleasure to lift the spirits of even one person.

Hope all is OK on your end ….

Beautiful!

Congratulations, Diamond!

May your work bring joy and solace to those in need!

Very kind words ….

Doctors’ offices are unsettling, even in the best and most benign of circumstances. At least for me.

I remember what a zombie I was when I first entered that place with a brand new cancer diagnosis. I wanted to create something uplifting or at the very least, a distraction.

Thank you so much!

It’s a public service!

So you know how it feels, I know, myself, I was probably a zombie for at least a month. Thank you and hope you are doing OK.

I love your screen name.

I like your screen name too. Bowie fan here, especially that song!

Yay for us! DB left us too soon.

It's beautiful. I love it.

Your screen name is one of my favorite paintings.

They should love it. Bri g tissue, there will be tears.

They should love it. Bring tissue, there will be tears.

Patients and their families will be moved. I know I am.

It’s always such a thrill when people are moved by something lil’ ol’ me made.

Evokes hope and joy to me. 💖💖💖💖💖💖. No doubt they love it.

I hope so.

art work. Thank you for sharing it with us. Hope your Oncology visit goes well.

🍑🍑🍑🍑

Is it Duncan approved

Beautiful!

You've always done amazing artwork!

I am just blown away by all the supportive comments here! Makes my day for sure!

Brilliant. This is just beautiful diamond dog. You need to do more of these over the winter.
:

Been such a crazy summer I haven’t had much time to paint at all! It’s frustrating!

Thank you so much!

It makes me so happy to think of all the people who will go into your oncologist's office, very likely in a state of fear and feeling down. Then they'll see this. What a gift!

I remember how I felt when I first walked in those doors and wanted to create something comforting for patients to look at. Thank you for your kind words!

Really, fantastic stuff!

P.S. my first mammogram after surgery and cancer shows no evidence of disease! As far as we know, I am cancer free.
