Painted Hebdomas as a Thank you

[Sjk4x4]

My mom asked me for a painting for some work she did on my behalf. I hate waiting to give repayments because sometimes they get swept under the rug, so I got on it. I didn’t feel like painting on a canvas and wanted to show her what I enjoy at the moment.

Her favorite color is cobalt blue so I think this is the perfect dial. I went through the mechanism, made repairs and performed maintenance and got the watch running. I always learn something with each repair and this was no exception.

I painted a small butterfly in the back cover but since it was so small, it didn’t read well.

I gave her a painting of the best part of the butterfly and added gold around the inside rim to match the bow and pin. I really like the way it turned out!

Oooooo, that looks like a close-up of a Blue Morpho!  They are a personal favorite of mine, maybe second only to the Luna Moth.  Nice work!  And it complements the cobalt blue of the number cartouches on the dial very well.  I like.
