Ember Wings, Symmetrical Orange Butterfly

A symmetrical butterfly with wings spread wide sits on a white background. Its wings are filled with swirling orange and yellow patterns that look like flame. Bold black oval markings and long deep red leaf-like shapes radiate across the wings.

A butterfly that reads as fire. The wings are filled with mirrored orange and yellow swirls that look backlit, like embers or molten glass. Bold black ovals and long deep red petal shapes fan out over them. The whole thing sits as a clean silhouette on plain white. Most butterfly art is soft, natural or pastel. This one is graphic, warm and high-contrast, and it works from across a room as well as up close. Someone who wants a butterfly with heat and presence, not delicacy, will stop at this one.
