Children have the best imagination and my son thinks that this painting is cool. As far as myself; I love the idea of the dart and the shadow. Brilliant!
Lovely....love the colors in the butterfly in contrast with the irridescent blue water. And I like the concept of the open door. There is so much detail in this.
Very nice technical details. There is a lot of the feel of the Belgian master, Magritte. Although there is wonderful realistic detail, it allows the viewer's imagination to soar, like the butterfly.
Hello Zura! How are you? I love your surreal paintings. They are realy amazing. I love the surreal work of Margritte, clearly an influence! Fabulous work!
Artist Reply: Hi,Rusty! I'm grateful for your support and warm comments! They are much appreciated. Best wishes, Zura.
I don't pretend to understand surrealistic work ..... but I do know that is very beautiful to look at and so well painted. Lovely craftsmanship, very skilful.
