Rosewing, Red Kaleidoscope Butterfly

A stylized butterfly with outlined wings sits at the center of a perfectly mirrored, swirling pattern in deep red, purple and blue. Its body glows pale yellow and white, and cream and blue marbled swirls fill the wing tips. A textured blue and pink border surrounds the scene.

A stranger wants this one for the glow at its centre. A pale yellow-white butterfly body shines out into deep red, purple and magenta, and the whole image is mirrored so perfectly that it looks like a stained-glass window lit from behind. Most butterfly art is a pretty insect on a plain or botanical background. Here the butterfly is part of a symmetrical, kaleidoscope-like pattern, and the red whorls on its inner wings look like roses. It suits someone who wants a bold, colour-rich wall piece with a subject they can name at a glance.
