This gorgeous butterfly was created by copper sculptor Rick Hewitt. Its intense colors are chemical burns into the copper. Each butterfly is hand cut, hammered and burned. All of the butterflies are completely different in coloring. Each butterfly is a Rick Hewitt original. You can attach them to walls, fences, bird baths and trees by using the hook on the back of the butterfly. These butterflies will stay with you even during the cold winter months.
They are available at “Linda Rauch Gallery” and on our web site.

“Linda Rauch Gallery” will be showing at the Blanco Lavender Festival this weekend at the “Uptown Blanco Arts & Crafts Show”.  This art show will be held inside the historic building that is located at 317 Main St. in Blanco, Texas.  This building is located on the southwest corner,  at the intersection of Main Street (U.S. Hwy 281) and 4th St.

The show opens on Friday the 10th from 11:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.  It is open on Saturday the 11th from 10:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m.  The last day of the show is on Sunday the 12th from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. 

We will be bringing some new pieces from Rick Hewitt,  copper sculptor,  as well as his popular “Wind Dancers”.  I will have my new painting “White Orchid” there, as well as gift sets, watercolors, prints and paintings. 

I would like to invite you to join us for a fun day of art, lavender and entertainment!

Orchids have always facinated me. They look so exotic that sometimes they don’t even look like real flowers to me. This one caught my eye at an orchid show that I went to. I loved the starkness of the white and the soft shadows that played on its petals. The petals reminded me of ruffles on a dress. In order to enhance the pure white of the orchid, I chose to place in on a black background. I like the contrast in this painting, and the way that it has a contemporary feel to it.
