The photos my family took from our vacation to coastal Maine in Acadia National Park in July 2021 continue to inspire me. The rocky coastline is just so beautiful, and very different from the beaches in my home state of NC.
“Blue Swallowtail”
One of my daughters had emailed me some beautiful photos from a recent hike she enjoyed. One of the images was a close-up of a Swallowtail butterfly that was enjoying some sunshine right in the middle of the trail. As much as I love butterflies, I knew this would make a lovely piece. I enjoyed painting this one very much!
