Hurricane Painted Lady

37" X 43"

$1,500.00

This painting was inspired during the summer of 2001 in our garden where we have planted a wide variety of plants and shrubs to attract butterflies. I was just amazed to see so many Painted Lady butterflies on our Ligustrum shrub at one time. There were hundreds at some periods of the day enjoying the blooms while zooming in and out of the shrubs. I was seeking a new direction in my paintings this year and after watching the local hurricane forecasts, I thought that would be a unique format to present my wildlife images. This is the beginning of a series that will show a variety of wildlife species in a circular format, reminiscent of a hurricane weather pattern. I have nearly abandoned the airbrush and am pursuing more painterly brushlike qualities that are more expressive. There are currently no limited edition prints of this piece available but I can create large wide format computer prints for those desiring them for $20.00 each. They are printed on super A3B photo paper that is 13" X 19".
