About two years ago, I watched a movie called “The Blue Butterfly”. It is based on a true story about a Canadian boy with a rare cancer; he loves butterflies, and watched a natural program on TV about butterflies religiously. His favorite was the morpho butterfly. He learned that the butterfly could grant a wish, hence was determined to find the butterfly. As he finally had a butterfly, he released it in wishing more people could make wishes. Miraculously, he was cured after the journey. When the blue Morpho butterflies came out of my painting, the song, “A Million Dreams” was playing on my playlist. I name this painting The Dreams of Blue Morpho. Each Morpho butterfly is about 21cm.
