'Chequered Skipper Butterflies'
This is a small watercolor and ink work that is part of a series of butterflies rare as well as commonplace, found in the British Isles. I have adored and been fascinated with these beautiful and ethereal insects as a child and their magic never fades.
This small, fast-flying butterfly is now restricted to damp grassy habitats in western Scotland. The Chequered Skipper died out from England in 1976 and re-establishment trials have taken place since 1990.
In Scotland, there are thought to be about ten core areas and there have been no obvious recent changes in range.
These butterflies are flitting amongst Purple Moor-grass and False Brome, both kinds of grass vital as their food source.
Painted using Winsor &nnewton, and Schmincke Watercolour Paints.

This was such a great find. It was so different from all of the other apple paintings I saw. Her technique is one of a kind. We gave it to our friends as a wedding present and they absolutely love it!!! Thank you thank you!!!
