Canyon Lepidoptera

1995 - 21" x 28.5" - Watercolor, Arches Aquarelle watercolor paper

This was my third painting of drop-eye-long-lidded, hooded figures. The patterns for the robe of the figure in front was inspired by the wings of a dead butterfly that I found laying among some autumn leaves. I’ll leave the interpretation of the rest of the painting for you to ponder.
