Ember Wings, Symmetrical Butterfly

A butterfly with wings spread wide is seen head-on in a symmetrical pose, filled with glowing orange, yellow and red swirls. A stylized flower shape sits above it, and the dark brown marbled background is enclosed by a bright, multicolored patterned border.

Most butterfly art is soft, pastel or naturalistic. This one is a graphic, perfectly mirrored butterfly whose wings are filled with fiery orange, yellow and red swirls, glowing like embers against a deep maroon-brown ground. Someone wants it for the heat of its colour and the strong, ornamental symmetry, which a stranger can take in at a glance. A bright patterned border finishes it like a framed panel.
