Realistic butterfly paintings coming to Milford

MILFORD — “Debbie Gioello’s Butterfly Paintings Collection,” which celebrates the life and brightness spring brings after the winter solace, will be featured October through December at the Milford Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center.
The realistic paintings, representing butterfly specimens the artist purchased in South America, have been executed using acrylic paints and varnish in a multiple glazing technique. The completed painting of the butterfly is cut away from the original canvas and superimposed on another painted canvas, producing a layered, three-dimensional textured painting.
Gioello recently had the originals reproduced to make them more affordable. The new reproductions are in a dramatic size of 40”x40” and 30”x40”. Visit her website at www.debbiegioello.com.
Milford Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center, at 264 Route 6 and 209 in Milford, Hours: if open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday though Friday.
