A linocut print of Marbled White Butterflies resting on Scabious flowers.
 
I was inspired by photos taken in the Yorkshire Wolds. I was drawn to their distinctive chequered black and white pattern contrasting against the purple of the scabious flower petals. Marbled white butterflies are usually seen flying in the UK from June to August in the UK.

How to Take Care of Your Original Print
This original print is created using professional, high-quality oil-based inks, along with acid-free paper and mounts. While the inks have excellent lightfastness, I recommend hanging your print out of direct sunlight. Read more on my FAQs page.
