Butterfly in my heart

Butterflies have a lot of significance in my life especially to our family.
My parents and relatives believes that if a butterfly visits your home, it is the soul of a deceased who wants to keep in touch with you. This is what I believe since I was a kid.

Butterflies are the best insect for me and my late brother, we used to chase them when we were young. We played in a field full of butterflies, bees and fireflies. That place was a paradise. We used to plant flowers for them.

And when we discovered arts, I and my brother always love to draw them. Here are some of my butterfly arts:

Sad story

My brother died peacefully because of Epilepsy last 2016. There were butterflies our house since that sad morning, a lot of them. My parents think that it is him and my late Lola and Lola.

My mother always cry whenever she sees it.
But for me, it gives me a glimpse of happiness even though what happened is really unbelievable.

Those butterflies seem like to tell us " Be brave, stay strong

And my family has been stronger since that.
But sometimes, I still wish that my brother is still alive,
Still with us.
Painting, drawing
Watching late night movies
Playing and going to vacation

I still wish he was alive.

Thanks again to @jacinta.sevilla for hosting this mini contest.

Here's my entry and process in making this kind of artwork.
Though it's late, i still want to express my art through this.

PROCESS

I started with a pen sketch on my mini sketchbook. I always want to incorporate eyes on my drawings.
Since butterflies are one of my favorite subject it's now time to pair them up.
