Transformation Thursdays!

 In all its glory, depending on the species, the beautiful butterfly goes through the most amazing life cycle transformations. It starts with 2 butterflies mating, producing an egg, and then larva is hatched 

(also known as a caterpillar). 

They  then grow into a chrysalis when the magic really begins and a total metamorphosis occurs....

And as you can see in the picture below-- a butterfly emerges.  Within three to four hours, the butterfly will then master the act of flying in search of a mate to reproduce... 

And the cycle goes on.

There are so many varieties of butterflies- each consisting of a feast of vivid colors, different shapes, and wings covered with all sorts of patterned designs. 

 There are all kinds of transformations in nature- including the magic of flowers emerging from tightly closed buds.

 Exquisite in every way imaginable.

Compare these transformations to that of artwork- 

With the incredible transformation of supplies 

To Art  
In a world of unlimited ideas, mediums and novel techniques. 

And if you reflect,
The treasured part of our artistic creations
Is that they have a very special life cycle-
For it's the one we choose to give them!
