In this originally hand-painted illustration, a bright yellow and black leopard lacewing is escaping from an observing goldfinch that is resting on a branch full of cherry blossoms. The garden bird is peaking in from the side of the coaster and curiously looking after the butterfly that is flying away. The goldfinch’s appearance is characterised by his bright red head and sunny yellow accents on his wings that are in strong contrast to the white, beige and black parts of his body. The fading out of the light sky blue watercolour gradient in the background lets the natural texture of the marble shine through and it gives the appearance, this garden scene has been painted directly onto the stone. This delightful butterfly coaster is a superb stocking filler for nature and garden enthusiasts.
