American Tear
About the American Tear butterfly
I created this butterly in memory of the events that took place on .
The American Tear butterfly, shown above, is a revised version of the butterfly. I started work on the first version of this American Tear Butterfly on , and finished it on . That first version of the American Tear had still needed a lot of work, but I had wanted to get it posted right away, even if it was not ready yet. This new version of the butterfly has had another, intensive, two days of work put into it. With this version, I have adjusted the colors, smoothed out the detail work, reworked the bottom tear section of the lower wings, and done extensive modification work on the butterfly’s body. By the way, except for where the wings attach, the thorax and abdomen parts of the body still have the same outline as the original butterfly’s body, but the head shape was slightly altered.
was a tragic day in U.S. American history. The events of that day have had a lasting impacted on this country. In the early days that followed 911, I felt the need to express my feelings in art and poetry, and then share those works online. The companion poetry piece for this American Tear Butterfly is found on the poem page, linked to below.
