This piece is a tribute to the picture our mothers paint for us of ourselves in the world. I'm very fortunate. My mom has "painted" a very sweet picture all my life. This piece was titled after it was created. My dog found a dead butterfly and as a habit i like to collect the carcasses of bees and pretty winged insects. So i was looking for an excuse to draw this butterfly and that coupled with the self portrait turned very sweet and suddenly i wasn't drawing myself from my own point of view.
