16 hours for my butterfly

I am an overthinker. Sometimes. For those who know, you might understand how exhausting this can be. To constantly keep your brain plugged in and wondering about a million things. Most of them out of your control.

I realised this "amazing" talent of mine years ago and I started to tame it down. Through hobbies. One of my hobbies is making art. Painting, drawing, sketching, facepainting. Anything which puts a brush or a pencil/pen in my hand will do the trick. My brain is taking a break and doesn't even know it. I trick him into believing that it's going to keep functioning at high capacity....but art does quite the opposite. It puts my brain into a state of complete relaxation while using it in the same time. What an ingenious way of my brain finding a way to relax itself... Through itself.

Now I am already 16 hours in into this drawing. Pointillism art is fun. This tiny butterfly is slowly coming to life, I am giving him wings to fly. Dot by dot.

I am always amazed by nature and what it can do. The work of art which a butterfly is should be appreciated like a painting in a museum. Can you imagine how diverse is the world of insects and the entire divine technology behind these little creatures? Drawing them hours and hours would still not come close to their natural beauty.

Look for a butterfly in a park, in your garden and stare at it. Observe its beauty. Appreciate it. We all should do this more often. True beauty is sometimes right in our faces. We just have to pause our modern lives and take a moment to notice it.

Have an extraordinary day and toodle loo!
