Delicate Butterfly over Delicate Tea Cup — Original Painting

Butterflies are among the most delicate creatures on earth — and yet they are anything but fragile. A single Monarch can migrate over 4,000 kilometres, navigating by the sun with a precision that still baffles scientists.

What captivates me most is the journey. They begin life earthbound, slow and crawling, and then dissolve into something entirely new — emerging as brilliantly coloured phantoms that flit in and out of our lives, there for a moment and then gone.

This painting catches one in that fleeting in-between — poised on a delicate teacup, wings open, as if deciding whether to stay or vanish into the garden.

If you've ever stopped to watch a butterfly and felt something you couldn't quite name — this one's for you.

This is the original acrylic painting — one of a kind, painted by hand. There is only one, and it could be yours.
