Bead Embroidery Pattern on Art Canvas "Visit of Muse"

“Visit of Muse” — a girl in a full skirt sits at a grand piano, and butterflies and small flowers rise into the air along with her music. The mood is light and dreamy.

What the picture shows

At the centre stands a dark grand piano with an open score; the girl is seen in profile, her fair hair pinned up and trimmed with a blue flower. Her long dress shifts from olive to blue and lilac, with white and violet blossoms scattered over the hem. Above the instrument and across the whole upper part of the canvas fly butterflies — red, white, lilac, yellow — among tiny flower heads. The background is a warm cream wash with faint brushstrokes. The beadwork is partial: you bead the figure, the piano, the butterflies and the flowers, while the painted background stays as print and reads as soft light around the scene.
