Trust & Tranquility by B. B. Rich

Trust & Tranquility by B. B. Rich

Memories and Meaning

The lady in this drawing, dressed as a princess, is surrounded by colorful turquoise and orange butterflies.  Because she is so serene, the butterflies trust her enough to land and settle in her hair.  The shared calmness between the two of them creates mutual trust, and that's where its title, "Trust & Tranquility," comes from.  (Also, as a little bonus, it sounds like a title Jane Austen would've used.)

This piece also has a person meaning for me.  There's a memory I have, which may have influenced me to draw this.  Some years ago, my wife and I visited a zoo with a butterfly garden.  She had such a wonderful time with all the butterflies surrounding and landing on her, and it was a joy to watch.  She has passed away since then.  This is one of my fondest memories of her.  As with many of my art pieces, I didn't fully understand it until after it was finished.

Of course, everyone who looks at a work of art might have their own understanding of it, and that's something I find really interesting.  Perhaps this piece might have some particular meaning for you as it does for me.  At the very least, I do hope you may find beauty and perhaps some sense of calm from it.
