The Painted Lady Butterfly is attracted to a Desert Sunflower. The Painted Lady is plentiful throughout the world. It can be found everywhere except Australia and the Antarctic. This delicate and beautiful butterfly iS not only ubiquitous, it can fly 100 miles per day at 30 miles per hour! This water color depicts the Earth and a negative silhouette of a human figure seemingly embracing Nature’s handiwork.

“I am drawn to butterflies and hummingbirds, not only because of their astounding beauty, but their ability to survive and thrive in a harsh world despite their almost lack of any weight. They can fly through storms without getting bashed against trees and precisely hover over a flower being battered with wind. There is nothing more magical to watch.” —Austine
