🌷 🖤 🏁 🌿 🐛 🐌 ✨ // 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.

@realoatmeal submitted: a beautiful visitor to my garden today :] i think she’s a mylitta crescent! (western oregon)

Pretty friend! This one is a fritillary rather than a crescent :)

Mormon Fritillies

I made it up to the head of Horse Prairie creek the other day. Not a lot of opportunities for pictures except for a huge number of butterflies. I was able to photograph several while I was working my way up the creek fishing, and when I was walking back to my ATV. The plan was after I had lunch that I was going to try to get more pictures of them, but the enormous swarm of little black flies (which have a nasty, painful bite) chased me out of there.

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 😂

Carrion Fritillary - CR 1/4 Plant

This deep purple plant thrives on decay, feasting on corpses—or making them. With venomous spit and clinging roots, it restrains prey in clouds of nauseating gas. A single fritillary might be a nuisance, but in groups, they create a deadly snare of choking fog and relentless vines.

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.

@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.
