 "Skippy the Skipper" - (Long-tailed Skipper Butterfly) - Acrylic on Watercolor Paper
Over the last few years, my interest in insects, especially butterflies, has grown immensely. I used to think that Georgia was home to very few butterfly species. I was just ignorant. Georgia is eat up with brilliant butterfly species! I got the inspiration for "Skippy the Skipper" while out photographing bumble bees and leaf hoppers that commonly visit the mimosa trees (Albizia julibrissin) in my yard, which I had planted to attract hummingbirds. Fortunately I was able to take a quick snapshot of this skipper before he quickly flew off.
