Original image: Oil on board. 40cm X 40cm. 2024.
Late afternoon walks in February saw an abundance of these striking butterflies. They are quite beautiful to watch, weightless and floating on the breeze.
I found out after painting them that they originate from North America and arrived in Australia in around 1871. Their host plant is the milkweed, a non indigenous, invasive plant.
I loved the milkweed plant as a kid, memories of exploring neighbouring
paddocks and popping the big puffy seed pods to reveal a caterpillar inside if you were lucky. Finding out they are not native has changed my perception of the Monarch butterfly and taken away some of the romance. This is a consequence of getting older in this country and learning more. Not all is as it seems.
This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
