Marbled Wings, Moon Phase Butterfly

A symmetrical butterfly or moth with orange, yellow and teal marbled wings and a bright pink center sits on a soft cream background. A row of moon phases arcs above it, a sun sits below, and small stars and leafy sprigs are arranged evenly on both sides. The shapes are flat and graphic, with swirling color patterns inside them.

A wall piece you can read at a glance and keep looking at. A symmetrical butterfly sits at the centre, its wings filled with marbled orange, gold and teal swirls and outlined in thin cream lines like stained glass. Moon phases arc above it and a sun sits below. Most butterfly art is naturalistic or pastel. This one is graphic and saturated, on a soft cream ground that lets the orange and teal glow. Someone wants it because it is warm, balanced and a little bohemian, and it stops the eye. No further reason is needed.
