Paintings in two different styles.

I completed two new paintings. They are totally different subject matter. The one posted below is 10X20 and is one of my saguaro paintings. This one was inspired by a photo sent to me by a friend. It was of a painting of a woman's face covered by butterflies. When I saw it I thought it would be fun to do a Butterfly Saguaro.

The next painting is a 10X10 and is a Vanitas painting which is also the title I gave it. This is based on a 17th century style of painting popular with the Dutch and French. While the paintings contained lovely objects such as flowers they always included some reference to man's mortality like the skull. I thought this could be another version of a Day of the Dead painting.
