About Sending Monarchs Home:

Size: 24” X 22”  
Medium: Linocut Print, Oil on Canvas

I didn’t see many Monarch butterflies this past summer or fall. I missed them. I missed their beauty; flying into and gracing what might otherwise be unremarkable space. I marvel, even more, at the stupendous journey across the continent they make from their home in Mexico to visit here.
 
I came upon one late this past fall at Wave Hill Public Gardens in Westchester County NY where my wife and I were strolling. “Look” I said to her with as much joy as surprise, “a Monarch.” It was then I realized how much they had been missed. I also was worried that it had not as yet made its journey home and concerned that it might not be able to if it lingered here much longer.
 
I wondered how they would get home. That’s what I was thinking when I made Sending Monarchs Home. I imagined a magical breath blown, much like making a wish on a dandelion, blowing strong enough to lift them up and onward to home.

I hope they made it. I’ll know better next summer when I see them again.
