It’s been about 18 years since I last painted a butterfly. At that time I created several to decorate our infant daughter’s bedroom. I used to paint them life-sized, but these magnified views posed more of a challenge. Those tiny facets on the wings took a long time to render. Lepidoptera, which means scaled wings, is the scientific name for the order of butterflies and moths. They certainly live up to the name!
