No. 91: Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Watercolor

Male eastern tiger swallowtails are the familiar yellow and black. Females, however, are dimorphic: yellow and black or "black morphs" with magnificent black/blue wings and bright orange patches.  Here it feeds on a favorite, butterfly weed (milkweed) with its bright flowers and abundant nectar.  This original watercolor measures 12"x16" surrounded by a steel blue matboard. This painting has been sold.  To learn more about my other paintings, please contact me at cajuntom55@gmail.com. Enjoy.
