Elizabeth Butterworth (born 1949) is an English artist, especially known for her paintings of Parrots. She was born in Rochdale, Lancashire, and studied at the Rochdale School Of Art  1966-1968,  Maidstone College Of 1968-1971, and at the Royal College of Art in London 1971-1974. She has had numerous solo exhibitions of her work.

Looking at a piece I found in the gallery by Elizabeth attracted me to the amazing detail and perfection of her work. Painted with fine smooth water colour, she has created an almost life like image of a parrots wing representing the beauty of nature.

Graham Crowleys peice also describes the beauty of nature and the realism of his painting by creating something which almost looks like a photo. The snow gently settled on the grass in a feild, nearby a home gives the picture a homely feel. Just like Elizabeth he has created an image with so much detail and time taken which shows throughout the painting.
