Orange Sulphur Butterfly — Giclée on Paper Tote Bag sketching the same wing positions

sketching the same wing positions over and over until the geometry of the dive became second nature

fostering a love and appreciation for wildlife in young readers

the orange-red of the calyx and petals vivid against a soft green background

the flowers appearing between them at different heights

This is the unenhanced version of the subject — the original watercolour study without the luminous pastel background of the Enhanced edition

Glen's butterfly studies occupy a distinct place in his catalogue
