Blue Flax and Butterflies in the Olive Orchard

Acrylic on board. 12 by 12 inches

This painting was done from a sketch made after an early morning walk just after sunrise. The sun was already up, but it was not yet too hot. I followed an earth track into the hills behind the coast in Skaithos in Greece. There was pale blue flax flowers were sprinkled in the tall grass and pale butterflies danced in the grass adding interest to the scene.
