I don't often do the same subject over and over.
I found this beautiful white moth dead on my windshield. Still perfect in form.
I've mentioned before how the human eye can see so much more than pigments can reproduce. Painting subjects that are all white are very challenging. Because the whitest white is several shades darker than the brightest light every darker shade must consequently also be adjusted. With all white subjects, in this case a very white moth on white paper, the goal is to retain the feeling of everything being white.
These are 8x10 oil paintings on stretched canvas.

Well, I must warn any reader of this comment that I am the artist's mother, so I do come to this opinion with some prejudice.
All that said, I do really like this work. You see it says to me what beauty the artist has in her soul to enable her to find the beauty in this lifeless moth.
Remember how much I love you, MOM
Awww. Gee thanks Mom. :-D
