The emerald patterned background is bold, bright and caught my attention immediately. The addition of the apple green swallowtail butterfly helps to relate the background to the foreground. I must admit, it took a little imagination to add an object that was not really present in my still life. To do this, I relied on a few reference photos of a yellow swallowtail butterfly that I took in my garden and some research I did about green colored butterflies. I also decided to go with a pale version of mint chocolate chip ice cream instead of the traditional green. I really wanted the ice cream to pop out from the background and felt that a white ice cream would accomplished this goal better.
