This book, Butterflies and Moths, authored by George S. Fichter and published by Western Publishing Co. in 1993, is a children’s book that showcases illustrations of common butterflies and moths of North America. I used alkyd and oil paints on heavy weight paper, to achieve a smooth texture and meticulous detail. The book’s spreads measure 20” x 15”. If you’re wondering why three of the spreads are missing, it’s because they were sold prior to these listings.
Back when I started my illustration career, I’d purchased a platform stereo-microscope to examine insects more closely for some of my other projects. Happily, I got to use it for this project as it allowed me to really observe the smaller details which I could still paint.
Original art will be enveloped in an archival sleeve and shipped sandwiched between several layers of fome core and corrugated cardboard.
