The black background really brings out the vibrant colors of the wisteria, leaves and butterfly. Every single individual petal of the wisteria flower was cut, shaped, formed and hand painted. Next, each of the petals were attached individually to the flower stem until it formed a beautiful blossoming wisteria flower. A hand-painted swallowtail butterfly rests among paper-sculpted leaves and the tiny little painted, paper ladybug sits on the green leaf checking out the scene.
The hand-painted, paper wisteria flowers and the yellow swallowtail butterfly and leaves are three-dimensional elements that are highlighted in this beautiful painting. The butterfly rests among paper-sculpted leaves against a black background.
“Butterfly in Silhouette” is framed in a shadowbox frame that measures 11” high x 9” wide x 2.5” deep.
Medium: Paper, watercolor and gouache
