In the fall during the migration of the Monarch Butterflies, they are so focused on feeding, that they don't just fly away when a human approaches. They will move around on the plant if they sense a presence, but not just disappear. It was during that time of the year that I took several photographs of this monarch butterfly on the geranium plant  on my mother's patio. I might not have been there at that time, except that I was recovering from a motorcycle accident at her house. (a motorist tried to pass me on my left as I was turning left, and I'm fortunate to be alive). I was in a back brace because of a fractured vertebrae. Anyway, one bright spot is seeing and being able to photograph this monarch butterfly.

This vibrant painting brings to life the delicate beauty of nature, featuring a striking monarch butterfly perched gracefully on a cluster of red flowers. The rich hues of orange and black on the butterfly contrast beautifully with the lush greens and vivid reds of the blossoms, set against a serene blue background. This piece invites a sense of tranquility and connection to the natural world, making it a perfect addition to any space that seeks to inspire warmth and joy.
