‘Kaleidoscope of Marsh Fritillary Butterflies'
This beautiful rare Butterfly was recently spotted in National trust woodland just 20 minutes from my home here in North Devon. it has returned to the cliff side meadow area at Brownsham, Hartland, after being absent for 52 years. The Marsh fritillary is not only rare in the UK but across Europe. They are beautiful bright and heavily patterned, much like the rest of the fritillary family.
These little guys have inspired me ever since I started drawing and I will always end up going back to them in my studies as they are one of my favourite subject matters. I spend weeks lovingly inking each individual design onto every unique butterfly and Bumble bee in the composition. As with all of my work every element is original and no two pieces are ever the same.
These Marsh Fritillary’s have been reversed inked, painted and gilded onto the reverse of glass, entirely in 24kt goldleaf
Each of Danni’s pieces are original, unique and produced by Danni from start finish here in her studio. Each piece is inked, painted and gilded onto the reverse of toughened glass. After completion the piece is flipped over to reveal the artwork through the glass and framed in a 35mm deep frame, creating a gap between the artwork on the glass and the white backboard, which creates the shadow effect you can see behind the butterflies giving the whole piece an almost 3D quality. These shadows can move and dance across the backboard when the piece is hung in natural light, like in a lovely bright room , but will look equally as good under spots or in any well lit space. Once evening comes the these pieces take on a whole new aspect as the metallic leaf radiates its own luminescence.
