WARNINGS: profanities and more incredibly sappy dad warren
SYNOPSIS: It's your and Warren’s daughter, Mariposa's first Halloween. Written for this request! (Part of the mariposaverse fics, the rest of which can be found on my master list) word count: 1,126
“Your papi is going to love this,” you said, smiling proudly down at your work. Mariposa gurgled up at you from her position on the bed, kicking her legs happily. You had been planning her first halloween costume practically since before she was born, when you calculated that she would be nearly six months old on the holiday, perfectly chubby and adorable. The idea for her costume came to you shortly after she was born, and you told Warren right then and there that it would be a surprise. He had been asking– well, begging really– you to tell him what it would be ever since. 
Now Halloween was here, and you had been able to execute the idea better in reality than it even was in your head. Mariposa was wearing a long-sleeve black onesie that you had sewn wings onto, made out of silk that you had cut into the right shape yourself, and watercolored in the pattern of monarch wings. Camila had crocheted a little black hat for her, too, that had cartoonish little antennae sprouting from the top. It was nestled over the baby’s mass of curly black hair; a carbon copy of her father’s. You had gotten face paint from a costume store in Hollywood, and painted a little butterfly on each of your cheeks, and were wearing a dress in the exact same shade of orange as Mariposa’s wings. 
You picked up your squirming daughter and carried her over to the floor-length mirror, giving both of you a once-over. 
“We look perfect, my little butterfly,” you said triumphantly, nuzzling your nose against hers. 
A short while later the front door opened, and you could hear Warren fumbling around. “Where are my girls at? I wanna see this costume finally!” He shouted, and you could hear the smile in his voice. 
“Coming! Cover your eyes,” you shouted from the top of the stairs, gathering Mariposa up in your arms once more. You peered down the staircase to see your husband standing there, hands over his eyes and his face lifted in a smile. Once you were sure he wasn’t looking, you carried Mariposa down them, stopping right in front of him. “Okay, you can look now.” 
Immediately, Warren pulled the hands from his eyes and drank in the view in front of him. His mouth dropped open, and you grinned as you could physically see the affection filling his dark eyes. 
“I have never seen anything more perfect,” he breathed, and you laughed at the awe in his voice. Mariposa started giggling when she heard your laughter, and reached out her chubby little arms toward Warren, who immediately snatched her up and held her close to his chest. 
“Look at you, princesa,” he said emphatically. “Mama made you look so perfect and beautiful, just like her.” 
In response, Mariposa dropped her head against his cheekbone. 
“Isn’t she the cutest thing in the world,” you cooed as you stepped over to the sideboard, where your camera was. You picked it up and turned it on the two of them, snapping a photo. 
“You both are, but that’s true all the time,” he responded. “Hey, wait a minute– you guys match, I wanna match too!”
He was borderline pouting at you, and you burst out laughing at the expression on his face. 
“Don’t worry, I knew you would. Go look up on the bed, I laid out your costume,” you said. 
He didn’t waste a second before turning and bounding up the steps, and you followed at a leisurely place, an amused smile affixed on your face. 
“No fucking way,” you heard Warren’s voice, slightly muffled from the bedroom. By the time you reached him, he was already wearing the white t-shirt and black vest embroidered with a bunch of bright monarch butterflies that you had gotten ready for him. You had found the vest at a thrift shop, then a plain black with a border of round silver studs, and asked an artist friend of yours to do the embroidery. You had thought it absolutely perfect when she dropped it off to you, and it was only made more perfect by the look of sheer euphoria on Warren’s face. Mariposa was sitting in bed with the shirt he had previously been wearing bunched in her little fists, chewing on the fabric. 
“It looks even better than I imagined,” you gushed, reaching out and straightening the fabric. Warren’s hands came to your waist, a warm and gentle pressure against your skin. You grinned up at him, twisting your arms around his neck and bringing his face to yours. 
When you broke the kiss it was just barely, your noses still touching. “You think I’m sexy even when I’m decked out in butterflies?’
“I would say that you’re extra sexy decked out in butterflies,” you nodded seriously, and Warren let out a whisper of a laugh, closing the miniscule gap between you as he kissed you again. 
“Now, do you want me to paint your cheeks with butterflies, too?” 
“Is that even a question?” 
The sun was low in the sky, bathing the whole street in gold, by the time you were ready to leave for trick-or-treating. Warren had gotten Mariposa’s little wooden wagon all ready for the occasion, filling it with blankets and all of her favorite stuffed animals. He was standing on the sidewalk with the wagon’s handle grasped in his hands, making conversation with Camila, who had come with Julia so the girls could trick-or-treat together. The little girl was dressed in a black dress, her face painted green and a pointed witch’s hat almost bigger than her perched on her head. 
When Camila saw you and Mariposa coming down the steps she squealed, clapping her hands together in delight. “God, you guys are the cutest little family I’ve ever seen in my fucking life!”
“We are, aren’t we?” Warren asked, unabashedly checking you out as you walked over to them. 
“Wait, let me take a picture of the three of you,” Cami ordered, motioning her hands so you would stand together. You snuggled into Warren’s side, and his hand snaked around your waist. He tickled the bottom of one of Mariposa’s little feet, causing her irresistible laugh to ring out in the air. The photo that Camila took then would quickly become one of your favorites; in it, Mariposa is perched on your hip, her little mouth wide in a toothless smile, eyes screwed shut with her laughter, you are looking straight at the camera, your smile scrunching the butterflies on your cheeks, making them look almost as if they’re flying, and Warren is looking down at you, love written on his face plain as the sun in the sky.

It’s PopArt Friday!
I spent a few hours on this sucker yesterday and this morning. I had the rocks underwater first, but then it needed something. I pulled in a monarch butterfly to round out the composition. Have a great day and weekend.

“My purpose is to make art that depicts the challenging path of life in these disturbing times, and that warns about the danger of the denial of climate change and depicts the fear of loss and the struggle for survival.”
-Sanda Manuila
Tumblr media
Homeless | Oil
$1,300
Born in Geneva, Switzerland of Romanian political refugees, Sanda Manuila experienced expatriation and isolation at an early age. Her personal history of separation and traumatic family experiences have shaped her vision of discrepancies and differences and gave her the perspective of an outsider. That is why she feels so strongly connected to her artwork. As a young adult she left her native country and moved to Northern California where she is currently living. Over the years Manuila has learned how to become a citizen of the world, a status she gained by studying art over many years in different locations.
Tumblr media
The Vigil | Oil
$1300
She studied at L’Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux, France, Atelier Bessil in Montpellier France, and at the Cornish Institute of the Arts, in Seattle, WA. Most recently she traveled to Italy to attend the Angel Academy in Florence and the Rome Artworks Studio in Rome, Italy. Additionally, she participated in artist residencies at Dacia Gallery in NYC and in Sibiu, Romania.
Tumblr media
Sanda Manuila creates oil and mixed media pastel and gouache paintings, which are stylized representational images from which exude an allegorical quality. Her visual stories depict a state of mind in which the boundaries between dream and reality have become very fluid.
"To achieve a more realistic and detailed style, I choose oil paint on canvas, applying it in multiple layers, sometimes starting with a black and white layer called grisaille.”
She chooses dead roses, decaying vegetation, birds, and insects as her muses to depict how fauna and flora are so integrated into their environment that they merge into it. Manuila loves birds. Along with angels, birds are the only creatures that own plumage and that makes them unique. Because they fly and have access into a world that we cannot reach, they invoke associations of freedom and spirit.
Tumblr media
Stop | Oil
$1,500
“We are all on a long journey of the soul, encountering endless turns, shifts and experiences, times of vulnerability, moments of miraculous growth. Metamorphosis is the magic that insects teach us.”
Tumblr media
Traité de Décomposition | Oil
$1,500
Birds sing, their language is foreign to us, yet it invokes many feelings in us. We see ourselves in them and use them to contemplate our place in the universe. With their textures and deep colors, dead roses show beauty in decay. After some time, they stop changing, and that gives them a timeless quality, a certain stillness.
Tumblr media
Hanging in There | Mixed Media
$2,000
Monarch butterflies play a key role for Manuila’s inspiration. In Aztec mythology they represent the souls of the dead, waiting in the underground to return to visit their loved ones. Even when we abuse her, Mother Nature remains beautiful.
Tumblr media
Emergence | Mixed Media
$2,000
Manuila’s purpose is to paint visual stories of a world on the edge: The story of the danger of refusing to look ahead. The story of Nature’s resilience and beauty even after the abuse we have been inflicting upon her. The story of Nature’s anger challenging us with extreme weather patterns: fires, earthquakes, floods, winter storms, hurricanes melting glaciers, and more. The story of our home, torn by conflict and mistrust. The story of fear of ‘the other’ foe who is different will deconstruct you. The story of the impossible friendship. The story of a new normal.
Tumblr media
Make Nature great again | Mixed Media
$2,000
“I tell the story of my life, and the world around me, and the need to narrate has become visceral.”
Tumblr media
Home 2020 | Oil
$1,500
Manuila’s process goes through two steps: first a digital study from photographs she has taken any time something triggers her interest. She uses various editing applications to give the images a new form. The second step is the physical painting, choosing between oil or mixed media pastel and gouache on watercolor paper.
Tumblr media
Tension | Mixed Media
$1,300
When looking for a somewhat looser more textural feel, Manuila uses pastel and gouache, alternating them in different layers. For applying the paint anything goes, sponges, tooth brush, paper towel, and brushes of all sizes and shapes. Sometimes she will even put the painting under the water faucet. Manuila paints poetry.
Tumblr media
Nostalgia | Oil
$2,000
“By presenting my artwork with emotional energy, I engage my viewers and wonder about what they see and how they feel.”

Been painting with watercolours recently. You know, those really cheap ones that you use in elementary school. It‘s actually super fun. Here‘s a painting I did, first the digital sketch, then the final watercolour painting.
