Passion Painting |
The Gulf Fritillary (Agraulis vanillae) lay their eggs only on the passion vine as it contains toxins that protect the butterflies from predators. They also eat this plant and nest in it too. Passion vines (Passifloraceae) come in about 400 different species and many colors. This one is a Passiflora caerulea. Passion vines are known worldwide for fragrance, beauty and for their religious significance. I
have incorporated these items into my painting with a kind of cubistic
flare. |
