Monarch Butterfly

Giclee on stretchedArtist's Canvas by Frank Allnutt of photo courtesy of John J. Mosesso/NBII.
Canvases, in select sizes, are available flat, or stretched on wooden stretcher bars, with optional Hand-Crafted, Beetle-Killed Pine Frame similar to the one above. Frame adds approximately 6" to both height and width of stretched canvas. Flat canvas has a minimum 2" white border to facilitate stretching, and is shipped rolled in a mailing tube.
Frank Allnutt's giclees are individual digital enhancements of computer-scanned photos. We use eight Ultrachrome K3 pigmented ink colors with lightfast rating of 108 years. Images are printed in high-resolution on artist's canvas and museum-varnished to further help protect against ultraviolet rays and humidity, and to preserve the color values.
Indian Legend of the Butterfly
According to an American Indian legend, if anyone desires a wish to come true, they must first capture a butterfly and whisper that wish to it. Since a butterfly can make no sound, the butterfly can not reveal the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit who hears and sees all. In gratitude for giving the beautiful butterfly its freedom, the Great Spirit always grants the wish. So, according to legend, by making a wish and giving the butterfly its freedom, the wish will be taken to the heavens and be granted.
