Monarch on the Rocks

Title
Monarch on the Rocks

Medium
Painting - Watercolor On Paper
Description
As part of a series of paintings featuring flowers resting on stones, I painted this Monarch butterfly in place of a blossom. I love the contrast of the delicate orange wings against the heavy, dull-coloured stones. The title also refers to the plight of the Monarch species, which is under threat due to habitat loss throughout North America.
