🌷 🖤 🏁 🌿 🐛 🐌 ✨ // still life with fritillaries & hellebores // gouache on hot press paper

A gift painted for a friend for their help with top surgery stuff! fritillaries are wild; they're actually checkered that way in nature, and hellebores really do come in black.

@crustaceousfaggot submitted: Could you identify this fella who landed on my hiking boot? Found in the sub-alpine Purcell mountains (British Columbia)

It's a fritillary butterfly in the genus Argynnis, but there are a bunch of species in that area, so I couldn't say which offhand.

Here's a test-sheet vs final that you may not have seen, and one of the initial sketchbook pages that goes with. This was my fav commission of last year

Test sheets always feel a bit like the portrait of Dorian Gray... They contain all the mistakes, angst, cussing, internal screaming, etc. But they also store all the learning. I return to them many times to remember how I did things.

Test sheets are also the part of a commission that I get to keep. Sometimes I put them on my wall next to a print of the finished work. They remind me that even drawings that start out looking like they were made by a hangry toddler on a rollercoaster... Usually turn out good at the end 😂

A tiny precious lady is basking in the sunlight (*\◡ᆺ◡)

I really love the way that she is flapping her wings. It's so elegant!

(F) Small pearl-bordered fritillary (Boloria selene)

Now blooming in the back garden, crown imperial fritillaries. Fritillaria imperialis. The rest of the garden has yet to be cleaned up. You can see by the leaves how dry it is right now.

@sweetlytwisted submitted: These butterflies were everywhere when I was out in the foothills of Southern Alberta (Canada).

Bonus picture of a bee with the biggest gotdamn pollen saddlebags (the orange blob at the top of the flower) I have ever seen. Buddy barely stayed still long enough for a clear picture.

Reasons not to cut down thistle plants: pollinators love them!!! Also, they're pretty. The butterfly looks like a fritillary but I can't tell exactly which one.

And HOLY COW that bee has been BUSY. Good for her.

How is it that I drew all these botanical structures

Yet today am struggling to illustrate some basic, small, needle-like leaves?
