Butterfly Garden

About this artwork

Monarch butterflies drift through a luminous garden of botanicals, painted in layered washes that shift from warm pinks to cool greens. Rendered on premium 300gsm paper and presented in a handcrafted frame made from locally gathered Arizona branches, the work carries an authentic sense of place and arrives ready to hang. Details Original watercolor (one of a kind) Size (art): 18" × 24" (45.7 × 61 cm) Paper: 300gsm, cotton watercolor paper Frame: handmade from Arizona desert branches, natural fiber lashing Orientation: vertical Ready to hang (hardware installed) Technique Professional watercolor glazing and granulation for soft gradients and subtle motion; fine brushwork for wing details and botanical linework. Artist Notes Created in my Arizona studio using locally sourced materials to reflect the Southwest landscape. Framing with natural branches makes the piece both artwork and artifact—bringing the outdoors into the room.
