#43 – Last Flight at Dawn

As soon as your eyes meet this piece, you feel the intensity and warmth of the sun as the light emanates from the painting. This eastern tailed blue butterfly is clinging to a Scottish thistle. The background is achieved with the use of layers of wispy, delicate brush strokes. Warm and hot colours of red and orange pour out of this piece, and are contrasted with the cool blue and purple of the butterfly and thistle.
