In this originally hand-painted illustration, the deep blue Morpho is gently resting on the leaf of a red garden flower. The Morpho is surrounded by delicate white and pink cherry blossoms that grow in from the side of the coaster. The butterfly wings are of a deep midnight blue and at the edges where they change into a deep black, you can spot a hint of purple and magenta. The fading out of the sky blue watercolour gradient in the background lets the natural marble texture shine through and it gives the appearance, the butterfly has been painted directly onto the stone. This butterfly coaster makes the perfect stocking filler for a butterfly enthusiast.
