I have also begun work on two other Tiger Swallowtail-inspired paintings:
The iridescent aqua color on each wing is absolutely spectacular. I hope I can accurately capture it, but iridescence is tricky! Each little aqua speck appearing against the deep velvety black is like a dusting of chipped gemstones. Will I be able to capture this in paint? Well, I'll try!

leave it to you to create such beauty out of death...
lovely work and I didn't know you knew Vanessa Boynton. She's one of my new twitter to real life friends. tell her i said "HI!"
I will tell her you said hello, Kim! Vanessa is such a wonderful spirit, isn't she?!
I just fell in love with the ragged and frayed edges of this swallowtail's wings - thanks for your comments. Have a peaceful 2011 that is full of your poetry!
