Zinnia and Swallowtail

How fun to spend a little time in the garden watching butterflies!  They really love the zinnias, so I could work on the zinnia while waiting for my models to arrive.  As one comes close, I start stretching furiously, stopping as they leave.  Another arrives, and I can finish the form, even if the colors are different.  The swallowtail is my favorite butterfly - and I'm lucky we have so many in the gardens took choose from!  Painting number 2758 in 2758 days.
