Swallowtail Butterfly Art Print & Greeting Card — Pen & Ink Watercolor by Gene Irvin

The Swallowtail Butterfly is one of nature's most breathtaking pollinators — and one of its most endangered. Gene Irvin's original pen-and-ink watercolor captures the luminous orange, yellow, and green wing patterns of this iconic species in flight among wildflowers, rendered with the expressive line work and vibrant color washes that define his wildlife art style.

According to the World Land Trust (June 2020): "Swallowtail butterflies include over 550 species, with wonderful names like birdwings, dragontails, apollos, peacocks, festoons, gorgons, and kites. Birdwings are the world's largest butterflies with wingspans of up to 5 inches. Unfortunately, swallowtails are among the most endangered of all butterflies and much in demand in international trade… they face a triple menace of habitat loss, climate change, and poaching."

This swallowtail butterfly art print and wildlife greeting card is a meaningful gift for butterfly lovers, nature enthusiasts, conservationists, and collectors of Southwest wildlife art. Available as a museum-quality 8×10 Giclée art print or a greeting card with envelope — both made in the USA.
