Butterfly Dreams - Print

"Butterfly Dreams" is a collection of British butterflies, chosen as I love their pure beauty of colour and visual impact. Although we're a relatively small Island, we have such a diversity of Flora, Fauna and Insect life. Although as in many places in the World their habitats are slowly being eroded away by the ever advancing "progress" of man. If it wasn't for the terrific work of the many conservationist groups, then much of this would be sadly lost - forever!

The original was drawn and subsequently painted in watercolour and bodycolour (gouache) onto stretched Ingres paper. I have since scanned the watercolour and added the text information above and the local and latin names of the butterflies beneath, whilst still retaining the "specimen" feel of the piece.
