Blue Emperor Butterfly Oil Sketch. Sadly slightly damaged canvas.

My Blue Emperor Butterfly is painted onto a white painted box canvas, 35 mm deep, so it doesn’t need to be framed. 🙂 You can just hang it straight on your wallI as is.

This large Swallowtail butterfly: also known as the Blue Mountain Butterfly, has a 14cm wingspan.  It is such a stunningly impressive species, the Australian state of Queensland uses this butterfly as its emblem.
