Description
The Mountain Apollo by Amy E. Fraser. This is an expressive butterfly portrait in shades of black, red, white and blue with a vibrant red textural background.
The Apollo or Mountain Apollo (Parnassius apollo), is a butterfly of the family Papilionidae. The Parnassiinae are a subfamily of essentially Holarctic butterflies. The vast majority of species, mostly Parnassius, can be found in mountain habitats. Tribe Parnassiini contains two genera, Hypermnestra, largely confined to central Asia and the genus Parnassius (the Apollos), a distinctive group of many species, all of which are alpine and capable of living at high altitudes. Most Parnassius, as illustrated here in this portrait, have two small reddish spots on their hindwings.
Amy E. Fraser’s Oil Pastel Animal Portrait series is an impassioned tribute to the beauty and magic of our beloved Animal Kingdom. Fun, gestural and energetic, these vibrant animals are painted in a stylized realism that is imbued with distinctive character and personality.
