This is a series produced during the Pandemic lockdown 2020.

Abstract Butterfly series 2020

The subject of the butterfly is an obvious spectacular beauty containing obscure delightful shapes, the interweaving interplay of organic lines, plus a combination of saturated or subdued colours. In this series of paintings I've captured a few recognizable butterfly species, while also incorporating the visual elements of light rings and sonic circles I often paint in other series.

The patterns, shapes and colours inherent to the many butterfly species are of constant fascination for me as a painter. I paint them with expressive colour and broad marks, applying wild buttery brush strokes to convey the seductive qualities of these aesthetic creatures floating on the wind. I also like to play with the patterns ghosted on a landscape horizon, blending with the clouds.
