Description
A made-to-order print on archival paper: Innova Fibaprint Matt from my original watercolour painting on paper: ‘Pantomime butterflies’
watercolour, pencil and gouache on Antique French legal document

Each image will be numbered, signed and chopped (stamped with my Chinese stamp in red ink). Edition of 10.
This is a collection of fanciful ‘Chinese’ butterflies based on traditional images I’ve found from various sources. I wanted to show something so very ‘oriental’ against a background of something very ‘European’.
The butterflies are very theatrical. You can tell what they are but you wouldn’t ever see one like it.
Butterflies symbolise long life, beauty and elegance and also signify marital bliss if in pairs.
