Artist's Description
In response to a challenge (http://www.lesliesaeta.blogspot.ca/2012/12/thirty-paintings-in-thirty-days.html) I have chosen to use a theme of butterflies from photos I have taken at the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls, Ontario. I plan to do pen & ink sketches, then paint them with watercolour.
This is Day 4 The Sapho longwing butterfly is primarily found in Costa Rica. The ventral (under) side of its wings, as shown here, are black and white but when open, the dorsal (upper) side sports a brilliant blue patch between the white sections. Sapho longwings will only lay their eggs on the passion flower plant.
About Peggy King
While art, whether it be drawing or painting or creating in clay, was my first love all through my younger years, after high school I went into a secretarial course at college. The following year I left school altogether, married and started my family. As a stay-at-home-Mom I found my creative outlet in crafts of all descriptions, and in cake decorating and the 'confectionery arts' which I also taught for more than 25 years from my home. Many of my greatest friends today were introduced to me as they sat at my dining room table decades ago in those classes. About 2008, I set aside the icing bags and picked up the paint brushes again! At the same time I began taking pictures with the intent of using them as reference for future...

Peggy, this is a beautiful painting of a very handsome butterfly (unknown to me). Love the delicate contrast the delicate plant provides..
Peggy King replied:
Glad you like this, Ann... I plan to do a painting of this one with wings open - there is a lovely blue that shows up in the sunshine.
