Metamorphosis

I took a walk with the little guy down to the park this afternoon. We saw several beautiful black butterflies fluttering about in the trees and near where we played. Butterflies are always inspiring to me. So, here’s a visual journal prompt for you.
Create a butterfly in your journal. Either paint, draw, copy & colour, or collage your butterfly. Make it fill the page. Allot a good 30 minutes to one hour for this project. Use colours that mean something to you. Immerse yourself in the process and think of nothing but your creation. Once you’ve created a beautiful butterfly write or create another visual journal entry on what butterflies mean to you, or any other issues or thoughts that came to light while creating your art.
I hope you enjoy this journal writing challenge. Please leave any comments in the section below.

Lovely photo, Heather. Perhaps I can draw some butterflies while I’m flying or waiting in airports this weekend.
Hi Mary Emma,
Thanks! Yes, drawing or doodling butterflies would be a good way to fill in waiting time. I’ve just done my share of that for a while. Travelling with a three and a half year old is so tiring. Thanks for leaving a comment.
