Monarch Sangria

A vibrant painting showcases a close-up of several monarch butterflies with their characteristic orange wings, black veins, and white spots. The butterflies overlap, creating a striking and dynamic composition against a reddish-brown background reminiscent of Monarch Sangria.

It’s not my worst, there’s a couple I haven’t shown anyone. Still, I’m putting this one aside. I can’t think of how I can make it work, so I’m moving on.  On the positive side, I have done something for March; which has not been the greatest month for me.

About it? It started as a concept called Fruit Fly.  I was going to do oranges with gossamer wings – don’t ask, sometimes I don’t know where my ideas come from.  I eventually abandoned that, and went with Butterflies, since it’s Spring.  The title evolved from the original fruit (sliced oranges), the wine-like background, and the beverage I was drinking at the time.
