Love this painting

This is the image I have set on my computer desktop- it's a painting by Charley Harper, but I'm not sure of the title or the year. When we were going through his archive a few years ago I fell in love with it, and it's still one of my favorites. Just wanted to share it with everyone!

This is wonderful! I feel dumb for asking...but is it digitally done? Or does he just have an amazingly steady hand? I love the shock of orange that the butterfly provides.

All of Charley's paintings were done by hand, using drafting tools and his magical touch. Amazing, isn't it?

awe...this one is most definitely desktop worthy. it has a brisk late summer feeling to it. so serene. nice.

beautiful!
great to see you guys for a second - sorry it was so brief. we had a lovely date wandering through GG park, looking at the flowers in the conservatory, and the paintings in the de young, and the gorgeous SF day! and this painting kind of reinforces all of that magic. xoxo
