Butterflies Again?

We are using Inez's butterfly (actually a moth) because it is appropriate for our spring 2009 meeting theme and because judging of watercolor theorems will be initiated at the meeting.  Inez Gornall is the third painter in our Master Series Theorem DVD.  She took the pattern and instructions from The Art Of Theorem Painting by Linda Carter Lefko and Barbara Knickerbocker (available from HSEAD), and the picture of the original was provided by Linda.   The original had gold paint on it, and while Inez chose not to add the gold, you might want to give it a try.
