Nature, Up Close
Electric Blue
A fleeting moment of brilliant color, discovered close to home.
Sometimes you don’t have to go far to get away.
A quiet morning on Lake Allatoona transformed into an expressive study of stillness, reflection, and the restorative feeling of being on the water.

The Original Moment
There was nothing planned about this photograph. I spotted this beautiful blue butterfly resting among the leaves in our vegetable garden and stopped to capture the moment. Its almost electric color against the surrounding green was impossible to miss—a small reminder that some of the most beautiful things are found when we simply take the time to notice.
From Photograph to Art
The original photograph captured the butterfly exactly as I found it. In transforming the image, I wanted to amplify what first caught my attention—the extraordinary blues of its wings and the lush greens surrounding it.
The finished piece pushes the color, texture, and movement further, turning a quiet moment in the garden into something vibrant and expressive while keeping that unexpected butterfly at the heart of the image.
