Blue Butterfly

Original Watercolour Painting by Claire Jewkes

Painted in luminous layers of rich indigo, cobalt and midnight blue, this striking butterfly celebrates both strength and fragility in nature. Created using multiple washes of watercolour on hot press board, each layer builds depth and intensity while preserving the delicate translucency that makes butterfly wings so captivating.

The bold, inky blues draw the eye immediately, yet beneath their vibrancy lies a softness that reflects the fleeting beauty of these remarkable creatures. Fine details, subtle shifts in tone and carefully preserved highlights allow the wings to appear almost illuminated, as though caught in a moment of stillness before taking flight.

Butterflies have long been symbols of transformation, hope and renewal. They remind us that beauty can emerge from change and that even the most delicate things can possess extraordinary resilience.

This painting seeks to capture that quiet magic a creature suspended between earth and sky, strength and vulnerability.

The clean composition allows the butterfly to take centre stage, while the dramatic blue palette creates a contemporary yet timeless feel. Whether displayed as part of a wildlife collection or as a statement piece within the home, this original painting brings a sense of calm, wonder and natural elegance to any space.

Presented in a glass fronted wood effect frame, the artwork is ready to hang and enjoy.
