Sleep Butterfly

Dense tangled vines with curling tendrils, dark leaves, and rounded gourd-like fruit fill the lower half of the canvas in silhouetted greens, blacks, and a single deep red form at right; a pale moth rests near the lower left among the foliage. The upper portion opens into a soft gradient of pale green and cream, suggesting misty light behind the plant growth. *Sleep Butterfly*, Acrylic on Canvas by Asako Iwasawa.
