As I have been talking about moths and butterflies and others lately, I am sharing the paintings on display inside the visitor center. This is truly incredible art. I have provided links where you can see an actual photo.
My first is of the butterfly (and moth) display in the visitor center. It was on the right as you walk through the doors. I wish I had taken more notice as there are artist tags identifying them. They have a very nice butterfly garden inside a section of the Conservatory, which is in the large greenhouse structure that you will see once you get outside. It is in the next photo in the background. The frog fountain is a definite favorite of mine.
The exhibit is on the walls of a very long hallway on the left. These paintings are by Deborah Davis. Link here to see these paintings.
The ID is at the top of each photo on my collage below. I could have happily pulled up a chair to study each painting. The detailing was exceptional.
I have included additional links below for more information.

ReplyDeleteThese are just amazing. I can see why you took photos of them. They almost look real because the artist did such a great job. Aren't luna moths just lovely?
ReplyDeletethey all look so real, I expect them to take flight in a moment. Awesome paintings. You need to get that frog fountain for your yard on your next birthday to make up for the lunch on the one just past.
