Once again..We're in the midst of the annual butterfly migration . Thousands of monarchs are headed south for the winter. They're so beautiful to watch as the float by like little fairies. This is a quick ( 1 hour) pastel study of a monarch resting on some goldenrod. It was done en plein air at the campsite we are staying in in North Carolina. When I was a kid, the camp counselors taught us to catalog the smaller wildlife we saw by netting it and pinning it in a box. This little 7" x 5" study seemed so much better an option for capturing the creature
