Woodspurge and Yellow Brimstone Butterfly

The wood spurge plant and yellow brimstone butterfly are illustrated in the adapted style of the artist Edith Holden.


The background frame is based on an e-processed yellow brolly fabric. 


“Come  forth ye blossoms! – over hill and lea,

A breathe of sweetness wantons with the sea,

And mid the smiles and tears of tender Spring,

Ye cups and stars that strew the fair, green field,

Ye wings of gold the prickly gorses yield;

Ye perisive bells to purple pageants born,

Ye milk-white may-buds of the mantling thorn;

Ye violet gems and eyes of sapphire blue;

Wan, flushing wind-flowers and shy elfin crew

Of every crannied wall, — come forth! –and fling

Young vernal showers around me while I sing;” – A Song of SalutationE.M. Holden


Note: E M Holden was Edith’s sister, Effie Margaret
