Southern California Native Butterfly Species Study

A whisper of pale blue, the Palos Verdes blue exists nowhere else on Earth but a few fragile pockets of its namesake peninsula in Los Angeles county. Once thought extinct, it survives only where its host plants (locoweed and deerweed) still cling to the coastal scrub. To see one is to glimpse the very edge of survival itself, a tiny, shimmering reminder of how much can hinge on so little ground.

Painted with Winsor & Newton and Gansai Tambi watercolor paints on cold pressed lightly textured watercolor paper. Original 5x5 inch watercolor matted and framed in a 8x8 inch white frame with glass, ready to hang.
