Metamorphosis WIP

I have painted this before, but with watercolor. This time I am painting it exactly how I see it... so I can\'t take any credit for the idea, just the execution. I never claimed to be a painter, but I thought I would give this a try..and I am VERY happy with how it\'s turning out so far. I could never get blending down, but in this one, it\'s blending!

All that I need to add now are the butterflies.

The color in the reference is much brighter than the original, though.
