Butterfly on Dhalia (Chateau de Crans)6" x 6" Watercolor on paper
I missed painting these small studies I used to paint before.... I painted the above from a reference photo I took at the beautiful flower gardens of the Chateau de Crans pres Celigny when we were invited to visit the grounds, wine celars and the interior of the castle and had refreshments and wine at their beautiful yard with views of the vineyards, Lake Geneva, and the Alps. The castle is a private residence and not open to the public, however, if you would like to see and read more about it you can visit this link: http://www.swisscastles.ch/Vaud/chateau/crans.html
