I've been a bit quiet again, but back to share some art I completed 2025 for my patron's print rewards. This one is based on the Red Admiral butterfly - I want to make more butterfly characters when I have time :)

I'll add the leftover prints to my shop as soon as that's up and running again - they have a nice pearlecent sheen.

Just a little paint of a Red Admiral butterfly on a vintage map today. #redadmiral #butterfly #butterflies #art #artist #recycling #recycle #painting
A stunning Red Admiral butterfly.

Was very lucky that this little butterfly stayed still long enough for me to get a macro photo

We were lucky enough to watch a NZ #RedAdmiral release today! 25 butterflies released in Blockhouse Bay. Three Moths and Butterflies of New Zealand Trust is some amazing work in #Auckland.

Red admiral (Vanessa atalanta).

"The primary host plant for the red admiral is the stinging nettle"

So all those nettles in the garden have a purpose, too. Feeding these guys, when they're all hairy and crawly.
