Shimmering Butterfly VI

A study in arrested flight, Shimmering Butterfly VI captures the ephemeral with the permanence of acrylic finish over paper, suspending movement within a composition that rewards sustained attention. At twenty-one inches high and twenty-five wide, the work occupies its wall with quiet authority — neither modest nor imposing, but precisely scaled for intimate rooms and considered vignettes alike. John Richard brings to this piece the same editorial sensibility that defines the collection, where natural subject matter is elevated through material restraint and refined execution.
