Common Blue

Inspired by the intricate beauty of the Common Blue Butterfly, this watercolor painting captures the graceful flow of color in the wing pattern of this magnificent creature. "Common Blue” or Polyommatus Icarusis is a butterfly in the Lycaenida family and genus Polyommatus, found in the British Isles and Ireland, whose habitat ranges down into North Africa and the Canary Islands. Painted in a bright aquamarine blue, juxtaposed with soft browns and warm orange highlights this painting is a minimalistic and vibrant scientific study.

Common Blue is a 5x5 giclée print, created on archival cotton rag, a flat fine art quality paper, printed with professional fine art quality inks, and hand-cut in studio.

The Butterfly Collective is inspired by Maya Angelou's thought-provoking words "We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty," seeks to draw our attention to the strength and beauty that live in diversity.
