This painting was the initial catalyst for Cormac's butterfly collection. The vibrant colors and lively brushstrokes harmoniously blend to create a painting that beautifully encapsulates the essence of this series. The piece is a rich, abstract impressionist depiction of a
glorious butterfly. The butterfly is illustrated with bold, textured knifework in a striking palette of oranges, blues, and reds. The background features a mix of cool tones, predominantly blues and whites, which enhances the vivid colors of the butterfly's wings. This use of color brings an energetic quality to the piece, making the butterfly seem almost alive.

Cormac’s technique adds depth and movement to the composition, inviting viewers to explore the interplay between the dynamic forms and hues. The vigorous knifework conveys a sense of vitality, drawing the eye to the intricate details of the butterfly while ensuring that the cool backdrop complements rather than detracts from the central figure. Overall, the painting radiates a sense of freedom and exuberance, emblematic of the artist’s imaginative vision and artistic goal.
