~ Buckeye ~ 8" X 8" Art Panel, Acrylic & Ink
<html>
<h1><center>~ Buckeye ~</center></h1>
<p><br></p>
<p>This is the last butterfly in this series, and the 8th panel I am sharing in this 10-panel set. These insect (and 1 spider) art panels were created for the 2017 Burien Vision 20/20 Art Event which was held this last November.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This butterfly - the Buckeye - is one of the butterflies that used to frequent our old lavender farm. I used to spend hours trying to get a good photo of one of them. Usually to no avail. These butterflies are quick! &nbsp;They often chased each other away, being pretty competitive with each other or just territorial. When they weren't chasing each other around, they were visiting the lavender, but they never stayed at any one flower for more than a split second, unlike the swallowtails with stayed at each flower much longer. And, the Buckeyes also would fly around in a seemingly hectic/spastic way - going here, then way over here, and then way over there - sort of willy-nilly. &nbsp;The Swallowtails, on the other hand, would more carefully and more methodically visit flowers in more of a succession - going to ones that were close by, moving down the row of lavender plants. So - with the Buckeyes flitting about in a crazy fashion and not staying still for very long, it was almost impossible to get a good photo of them. &nbsp;That is, until later in the summer, when they seemed to slow down a bit.</p>

<p>Each of these insect panels were first drawn in fine-tip sharpie (not pencil) - so there are definitely imperfections in each drawing. After each one was drawn, they were painted in using acrylic &amp; some iridescent acrylic inks. This one has a bit of gold.</p>
