Wings held flat and fully open, a butterfly sits at the top of a tall wildflower and feeds. Its forewings and hindwings are both divided by curving veins into panels of different sizes, with a scattering of small oval marks near the leading edges and along the outer margins, and the body beneath is banded from end to end.
The flower it has chosen is wide and generous, built from overlapping rounded petals that fold back on themselves so the bloom has real depth rather than sitting flat against the paper. A single sturdy stem carries it down the length of the sheet.
Lower down, the planting fills out. A daisy tilts open on the left with a textured middle, two round seed pods stand on slender stems to the right, and narrow leaves and grass blades cross one another along the base of the page.
Proportions here are kind to the colorist. The butterfly is large enough that each wing panel can take its own treatment, while the flower below offers broad petals that can be finished quickly. Warm tones on the bloom against cooler greens in the foliage make the insect sit forward. Clean outlines throughout, no shading, nothing pre-filled.
