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.
