It seems that I just can't get enough of painting this fabulous butterfly! I'm lucky to have the Asclepias plant in my garden. It's a milkweed that the Monarch loves and I, too, love it for its bright yellow and orange colors. You can see that I like to fade out the flowers to better feature the butterfly. I chose this "pose" to paint because its wings were partly closed showing the beautiful markings there.

 

Here's my other Monarch Butterfly painting with the wings open. Do you have a preference? It seems that there were fewer Monarchs around this summer. Have you seen that difference, too?
