Purple Hairstreak Butterfly Original Gouache Painting

Original Gouache Painting

A Purple Hairstreak Butterfly original gouache painting by Amanda Gosse.

The Purple Hairstreak Butterfly, scientific name Favonius quercus, is found in England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland and only in oak forests and woodlands. Although a non-threatened species, it is not easy to see these pretty butterflies, because they are usually in the canopies of oak trees, where they feed on honeydew.

Gouache paint and colour pencil on high quality 300gsm watercolour paper.
A4 — 20cm x 29.7cm.

Signed on the front. A certificate of authenticity will be provided with the artwork. The painting will arrive unframed, in a protective cellophane envelope.
