storm king

" the monarch's nickname is 'storm king'.
That it is always most active before a storm.
She had seem them, hadn't she?
Sailing in the electrified air,
beating head-on into the gusty thunderclouds,
reveling in the boisterous winds."
-Tom Robbins, Another Roadside Attraction


Only Tom Robbins could make me paint a butterfly...
it was him and the hot summer nights...
beautiful brides and full moons.

it's not done yet but i thought it'd be fun
to track its progress as it develops...
to watch myself get carried away
while looking back at what it was
in its earlier stages.
