Flower Power - 3 Thistles and Monarch - Wall Art

This series is comprised of three distinct, yet harmonious, 6" x 6" artworks, each vividly capturing the enchanting dance between purple thistles and delicate monarch butterflies on a lush green stage.

These three paper sculptures are a part of the Florals: Hello Spring! show at Seaside Art Gallery!

My inspiration for this series emerged during a walk in a local park, a transformed golf course now blooming with natural plants and wildflowers such as thistles and milkweed. As I wandered, I was struck by the vivid green and purple thistles swaying alongside fluttering monarchs. It is an amazing contrast. Delicate butterflies fluttering all around the thick thorny stems of these thistle plants, looking for a purple puffball flower to land on.

Creating this series was a compelling journey, drawing me deeper into the delicate intricacies of nature. Each piece in the series stands on its own, yet together, they form a narrative rich in life and resilience. Whether you decide to grace your space with one, two, or the complete trio, each piece shares a unique story woven with precision and care. All three of these paper sculptures are available at Seaside Art Gallery Seaside Art Gallery

While the butterflies gracefully perch on thorny hosts, this artwork serves as a subtle reminder of life's persistent beauty amid trials. It invites you to embrace a moment of stillness, to see the grace in obstacles, and to marvel at nature's choreography.

This series is more than a collection of paintings; it's a celebration of life's vibrant dance, offering a glimpse into the world’s silent symphony, waiting to be discovered and cherished."
