Here are some of my sketches of monarch butterflies. I'm planning on incorporating some into a Dia de los Muertos / Day of the Dead painting that I am in the drawing stages of. The monarch butterly has some interesting symbolism in Mexico, their migration symbolizes the return of loved ones. I thought they would be very fitting in DOTD art. I doubt I'll finish it in time for that holiday this year, but it's a project I feel like working on right now, so I'm going with that feeling...
I am also participating in Sunday Sketches. To view more Sunday Sketches, please visit:

Butterflies are magical. I love it when they visit my garden. Your sketches are gentle. So soft. Quite lovely. Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting. :)
I love moths and butterflies. I love all the pollinators! And your monarch's are likewise lovable!
Thanks so very very much! We are trying to have a butterfly friendly garden, I love butterflies!
Your Monarch butterflies are so lovely, Lisa. I can't wait to see you colour them in. Very beautiful. :)
