A small drawing of a blue butterfly on a pink flower. The drawing is created in colour pencil and has a very hazy, soft focus effect. The drawing is on white paper.
The Holly Blue is easily identified in early spring, as it emerges well before other blue butterflies. It tends to fly high around bushes and trees.
An original art work, please note that the frame is not included.
Colour pencil on white acid free artist paper
Approximately 4 by 6 inches (10.16 x 15.24 cm) will fit into a standard 4 by 6 inch photo frame.

Something for October, but not too Halloween! A black cat drawing, available on Folksy now...

#BlackCat #Cat #CatDrawing #OriginalArt #Drawing #ColourPencil #PenAndInk #Painting #Artwork #TraditionalArtist #ArtFromScotland #GiftIdeas #ArtShop #bsnm

A small drawing on black pastel paper of a green eyed black cat walking away looking over his shoulder, in the background there is a patch of semi abstract blue forget-me-not flowers.
Typically associated with bad-luck, witches and Halloween, it's well known that dark-haired kitties have a long (and unfair) myth-filled history. Typically black cat residents of welfare charities take longer to be rehomed than cats of any other colour. That makes me so sad.
