Blue, Swallowtail, and Sulphur Watercolor (Framed)

Watercolor on paper

8×10 inches

2026

On the left, a blue butterfly rests on a wild thistle, its delicate underwings dusted with soft markings. In the center, a swallowtail perches on budding blooms, its pale wings traced in dark stripes. On the right, a bright sulphur searches for nectar, landing softly on pink petals.

Three entirely different expressions of beauty, sharing the same quiet moment.

This painting is a celebration of the extraordinary variety found among California's native butterflies: each species distinct in color, pattern, and temperament, and yet drawn together by the same gentle breezes, the same vibrant wildflowers, the same warm afternoon light.

Painted with Winsor & Newton and Gansai Tambi watercolor paints on cold pressed lightly textured watercolor paper. Original 8x10 inch watercolor matted and framed in a 11x14 inch solid oak wood frame with glass, ready to hang.
