You may remember the painted windows from a previous article, well, those have been Butterflyerized (sic).
A little more than a fortnight ago, back when all this was just beginning, one of our readers, Paul Bryant had already decided the glass was half full and set about changing the view for the neighborhood.
He and his wife 'promised' (we would have twisted arms but we are no longer allowed) a follow up.
Here are the latest windows.
It almost didn't happen, though, "I ran out of paint and could not update until I received new tempera," Paul said.
"Usually Auchan has it but with every school child at home much of the art and craft material sold out and new items had not arrived."
Far from spending the days cussing the gosh-darn kids, Paul thought of what to paint up next.
"I am staying with the theme of hope and possibility. The young boy from across the street suggested butterflies which I thought was perfect," enthused the painterly chap.
"Butterflies are amazing in their beauty and variety. They provide wonder to us as children and practically help to pollinate our crops. They are amazing 4-winged fliers that can literally dance in the air, flying in any direction. Finally and, perhaps more relevant in the current situation, they are models of transformation, moving from a caterpillar to the marvelous creation we all love after a period of isolation," Bryant added.
In regards to the future designs and indeed the near future for Paul and his wife, Paul sticks with the butterfly theme; "I trust we all keep our best hopes for the crisis to end and for our own personal metamorphosis, so that we come away somehow better for the experience. At least that is my point of view."
Paul again seeks others to get involved; "we invite others to put up Christmas lights, or colorful banners or do as we do and paint the windows with tempera. Even if we can't get together we can let each other know we are here, helping each other, together. Let me know if these photos will do."
So that half full glass we mentioned above, it's also full of paintbrushes. Proof that there is a brighter side.
"Stay safe. Be the good. Take care. Take care of each other. Paul and Elizabeth Bryant."
