Dedicated to My Sister Mary Lou Cupp who has been an inspiration to me over the years...I call her "Iron Butterfly" because she is so fragile yet so strong...taken from the Band "Iron Butterfly"...I wish I could be more like her...she has mastered many areas of life I still strive to attain. It is her Birthday May First and I wanted to share that with you. We are Sisters and like all sisters grew up with our differences but, through it all we have learned from each other. Mary told me about the movie the "Butterfly Effect" last year and so in honor of her and that movie I tried to create something beautiful...this was started last year and the thought of it was conceived of then...I am not really finished with this piece but, I wanted to post it anyway. It took allot of hours because it was created in just a basic Microsoft Paint Program and Phto Editor...only my second purely didgital work, the tools used were minimal...It may not be as perfect or as glossed as other of your more advance works of art in digital programs...but it was created for My Sister. Happy Birthday Mary!!! Mary also has studied art and phtography and has some submissions on this site...if you would take the the time to look at her work I am sure she would be thrilled...Love Chris

This so beautiful work remembers me to a legend of the taoism of the IIIº century that counts: " Flew to gladly; it was a very contented butterfly of being it. It did not know that it was Chuang wide-awake Tse. Suddenly. It was Chuang Tse and it was astonished of being it. No longer it was to him possible knowledge if it were Chuang Tse that dreamed to be a butterfly, or were a butterfly that dreamed to be Chuang Tse . . ." WONDERFUL WORK, CHRISTINE.Timothy McAninch 30 Apr 2006
I like how butterflies are symbols of the soul. That movie is pretty cool. The power of a moment can be easily underestimated. There is thought that the billions of butterflies that first flutter their wings in the rainforest give rise to winds that accelerate into hurricane force. Gentleness has much potential to change the atmosphere.Joke Schotting 30 Apr 2006
