ColorFly. Acrylic & Pen on Birchwood, 10 x 8 x 7/8 inches. Monarch butterflies are so special with all the migrating they do. It is a miracle that they survive nowadays even more so with milkweed on the decline and crop poisons on the rise. The milkweed in our yard is chemical free, but nevertheless the Monarch is now so uncommon. I developed this painting from a photo I took in our yard.
