Tangerine Wings, Orange Butterfly with Purple Blooms

A bright orange butterfly with dark veins and scalloped dark wing edges is centered on a white background. Above it are two dark purple flowers with curved orange centers, and the whole scene is framed by a border of swirling purple, teal and green patterns.

Someone wants this piece because the colour does the work before anything else: one vivid orange butterfly against deep purple flowers, framed by a swirling teal and purple border. Orange and purple sit opposite each other, so the butterfly glows. The mirrored flowers and centred wings give a calm, ordered image, and the graphic, stained-glass-like drawing makes it read as a decorative statement rather than a nature study. It suits a person who wants colour and a clear subject on a wall.
