Both Soon To Be No More

This painting was inspired by hearing about the two species, the Tiger and Monarch Butterfly, are rapidly becoming endangered unless we, as caretakers of this planet, do something to help them survive and thrive. Both species being basically the same colors enhances the symbiotic relationship the two species share even more. I painted this piece to be a visual awakening for people to recognize the Tigers and their struggle to find and keep a place on this planet. The Monarch butterfly has been disappearing before our very eyes because of several causes. One being the frigid changes in the climate where they winter over that has killed hundreds of thousands of them. Another cause is the urban sprawl which is destroying the milkweed plants native to our area that are necessary for their continued survival.
