Wildlife Art Insect, Nature, Butterfly "PEACOCK BUTTERFLY" The Art of Nature, Fine Art by Mindy Lighthipe

 


The Peacock Butterfly is common in Europe and is easily identified by the large eyespots on the hind wings. The eyespots are designed to startle or confuse would be predators into thinking it is a much larger animal. If the predator does take a bite, it is usually directed towards the eyespot. The delicate wings may tear or get damaged during the attack but it allows the butterfly to break free and flee for its life.

Moths and butterflies belong to the classification of Insects called Lepidoptera. Lepidoptera is a latin word which means "scaled wing". When magnified under a microscope the scales of the wing structure are easy to see. For this series of paintings I did the background by looking under a microscope and drew the individual wing pattern and structure in pencil while placing the colorful butterfly on the surface in watercolor. The original has been sold but is available in 3 sizes of fine art reproduction canvas prints. Please look through the rest of the gallery to see other images from the series. They make a great sets for your home decor.

Wildlife Art Insect, Nature "MADAGASCAN SUNSET MOTH" The Art of Nature, Fine Art by Mindy Lighthipe

 






The Madagascan Sunset Moth looks like a butterfly because of its beautiful iridescent colors but it is classified in the scientific world as a moth. Moths and butterflies belong to the classification of Insects called Lepidoptera. Lepidoptera is a latin word which means "scaled wing". When magnified under a microscope the scales of the wing structure are easy to see. For this series of paintings I did the background by looking under a microscope and drew the individual wing pattern and structure in pencil while placing the colorful butterfly on the surface in watercolor.

Contemporary Abstract Seascape Painting "Cave Dive" by International Abstract Artist Arrachme

Material- Mixed mediums on canvas- Sealed with acrylic resin 

Exhibitions- Awards- Cataloged – Incheon International Marine Exhibition 2019- South Korea Exhibited, published, and cataloged- Gogyoshi Art Project International Non-profit. The flowing movement using a variety of techniques by combining mediums resins and inks allows recognizable images to emerge and reveal themselves. Extensive traveling on water inspired me to create art that demonstrates the free feeling that is the result when different forceful waters converge. Intrigued that they always calm, blending into the rhythm of the ocean. I am honored to belong to groups of colleagues that also care deeply about humanitarian and global environmental issues.
