West Coast Butterflies

Of all the prints in my collection, one of my personal favorites is the painting I made inspired by a photographic plate in the book "Colored Plates of the Butterflies of the West Coast, Being Actual Photograhs, Life-size, and in all their natural colors" by W. G. Wright. The book is long since out of print, but it still inspires me to this day.

I have a fondness for the subject since I had a collection of butterflies of my own when I was a boy.

I hope you enjoy the painting!
