#198 – Distinguished – Original Painting

Monarch butterflies carry a sense of familiarity and movement that immediately connects them to the changing seasons. In this original heavy body acrylic painting, Canadian artist Jeff Dillon captures a monarch feeding on goldenrod while focusing on the delicate balance between pollinator life, migration, and the health of the ecosystems surrounding us.

The monarch is an iconic butterfly species and easily recognized thanks to their distinct colours and patterns. This monarch is feeding on the nectar of the goldenrod flower. Monarch butterflies are not only beautiful, they help indicate the health of our ecosystems. They also have an impressive migration pattern, travelling nearly 2000 miles between Canada and Mexico each winter. When they migrate they form groups called roosts or bivouacs, travelling by day to their new location. The butterfly stands out against the surrounding greenery while the warm tones of the flower and wings bring a sense of light and seasonal warmth to the composition.
