Odilon’s Garden
48” x 36” x 3” acrylic on wood panel
Monarch Butterflies with some of the flowers they depend upon, including of course, milkweed, dahlia, beebalm, aster and echinacea.
This painting is inspired by a painting by Odilon Redon called “Evocation of Butterflies” I saw at the Muse’e d’Orsay in Paris. It does not have monarchs or colorful flowers, but I loved it and promised myself to create a work full of butterflies. I sketched the Monarch Butterflies first then could not resist the urge to feed them.
