Looking good! I added the aerial, the final layers of burnt sienna to the dim area in the wings, filled in the blue gray wing drops at the bottom, and gave a final layer to the background to this custom-built butterfly painting.Here is a bit of background information on this butterfly. It is actually moved by the Zodiac Moth, the only member of this genus of eleven day-flying species to occur in Australia. The wings are black with coppery green tones and purplish pink shimmering bands. I actually skipped the layers of green and alternated with layers of sienna to make a warmer look. The Zodiac is native to Papua New Guinea and northeastern Australia, except she is will be migrating to Michigan this year!
