Ancient Patterns of the Coastal Monarch

This 6 x 8 watercolor captures a vibrant Monarch resting on California Poppies. Swirling, decorative petals,  slender stems, and wispy foliage add movement and depth against the soft  sky.

Part of my Ancient Patterns of the Coast series, this piece blends realistic coastal beauty with stylized ancient motifs — celebrating nature while honoring timeless cultural patterns.  Mounted and sealed on wood, presented in a wood frame.
