Laissez le Bon Temps Rouler
The phrase means "let the good times roll" and
has often been associated with the Mardi Gras
celebrations in New Orleans. While I have
never had the luck to be able to attend myself,
what I have seen in movies and on TV tells me
that this is one of the world's biggest parties! A
party and a reminder that you only live once.
My butterfly represents a flight of joyous
celebration.
It is painted with acrylic paints, mostly metallic
and iridescent paints. The entire piece is also
painted with an iridescent finish that gives it lots
of sparkle and shine, especially when the sun
shines on it. The colors are primarily Mardi Gras
colors, gold, green and purple, and I added
some fuchsia and glitter just for fun. I paint
entirely freehand and intuitively, no lines, grids
or patterns. My intention when I paint is to
delight your eyes and I think this one does a
good job.
It has been a long time of very little to celebrate
so my wish is that we all find some "good times"
to enjoy very soon. We deserve it!
