Limited Edition Red Admiral Butterfly Signed and Numbered Fine Art Print

This numbered and signed work, from a limited run of 50 fine art prints, makes a one-of-a-kind gift.

Always a favorite among the butterfly-aware, the red admiral is a quick, feisty butterfly that is one of the first to show up in spring, zipping around urban porches and eaves. It is particularly fond of landing on people, and will sit on your head or shoulder, basking in the early summer sun. Like many butterflies in its family, the underside is cryptic, making it hard to keep track of once it lands.

This painting faithfully and precisely reproduces the beautiful colors and striking design of the insects I have pursued and studied since childhood. My style is inspired by that of my grandfather, Arthur Cushman, a noted illustrator who worked for the Smithsonian Institution and the USDA, whose paintings and drawings helped set the standard for scientific illustration in the mid 20th century.
