Just finished: 'Last Monarch' ... - a photo on Flickriver

            ... oil on canvas, 18" x 18". My final painting for the local studio tour on the last two weekends of the month (making 18 new paintings since last year's show). Title refers to the dire circumstances for monarch butterflies who are disappearing at a tragic rate. This image is based on a photo I took of the one monarch I saw in my area last summer (used to always see many dozens--including eggs and caterpillars; but no eggs nor caterpillars last year nor this). Did see a few butterflies this summer around my property.
