Ah, the patience - could you bottle it? This effort has made a very striking image - posting the larger painting too?

I like this superb piece of art very much! I admire your patience Steve and waiting now to see the acrylic version of it.

It really sounds as if it was a Herculean challenge, but I'd be exaggerating if I said it was. I will photograph the painted version and post it. Thanks for your positive responses ... much appreciated.

Loosely inspired by van Gogh's paitnting Grass and Butterflies this delicate piece has been constructed using overlapping 'blades' of coloured acid-free tissue paper. One fellow student thought there might be about 1000 strips of paper ... (please!) ... it was more like 10000 and each one stuck individually. I have subsequently reworked the image on a much larger scale in acrylic using different mark-making techniques to achieve a variety of effects.
