Ash9 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Oh my goodness!!! @xKeepingFaithxWhen I was in high school, I almost did a painting using you're profile pic as a source! I have loved that photo for a long time. (I didn't use it because it didn't fit the assignment, but I kept it in my binder) I love butterflies and work with water colors a lot in my free time.

Ash9 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 @xKeepingFaithx I have liked butterflied for a long time, then I went to a Christian retreat for teens that had a butterfly theme and ever since then butterflies have acted as a symbol of encouragement for me. They are so beautiful and complex and simple and ugh! I love it lol Link to post

Nice. Link to post
