Botanical - "Monarch Butterfly" (Danaus plexippus)
Another watercolour done from a photograph taken by Crista of NATURE AS IS, a wonderfully accomplished photographer (even though she insists she's still learning!) whose works portray excellent clarity and composition.
I'm going to try and do a whole range of botanicals of insects and plants and see how they turn out.
In the USA, the Monarch Butterfly undertakes a massive migration of 2,000 miles from Canada to 200 miles South of Mexico, where they over-winter before their return to their North American breeding grounds.

Morning Maree!!
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful!!! I have a question for you do you sell your work? My mom loves butterflies and since you painted the one from my picture, I thought it would be nice to frame my photography and have the painted version framed with it. If you don't sell your work no worries...I just simply love your paintings.

Hi Crista, would love to sell it to you, my first sale from my blog! E-mail me at hedgie@worldonline.co.za and we can talk.
ReplyDeleteThe size is 24cm wide by 18cm down, but it's on a bigger sheet, so there is space for framing.
