#200 – Observer – Original Painting

This original heavy body acrylic painting by Canadian artist Jeff Dillon focuses on a tiger swallowtail butterfly resting on a butterfly bush bloom surrounded by dense summer foliage. The composition centres on the brief stillness between movement, pollination, and the constantly changing balance found within natural ecosystems.

Sitting with its buttery wings on show, this tiger swallowtail butterfly is taking a pause on a butterfly bush bloom. Although not native to Canada, this plant is heavily fragranced and rich in nectar and often interests many pollinators. The butterfly bush is a reminder that environments are frequently changing, and our actions have a direct impact on the delicate beings that make up our ecosystems. The butterfly rests naturally within the surrounding foliage while the flowers and greenery create a sense of warmth, growth, and seasonal abundance.
