Please don't place picture in your comments, thanks
No butterflies were harmed in the making of this photo. If you go out early in the morning, they can be found resting on the tops of ladies smock flowers and are so quiet and sleepy they can be carried inside for photos without any containment. This one was put back after a few photos.

Once again orange tips were the most common butterfly I saw and I still can not stop photographing them. I am however only uploading one of several shots I liked - all of males.

Orange Tip Butterfly. Rushey Common.
Having finally given up on days of chasing them up and down the rides, this chap settles beside me and patiently waits for me to rummage the camera out of the rucksack.
Think there might be a moral there somewhere.
Artist's Statement
My work is an attempt to give voice to inner psychological and/or spiritual states of being. What is of primary importance to me is that the figures contain particular aspects of humanity which they can mirror back to the viewer. It's the vulnerability of Humanity I am after. That is one reason for choosing very old or very young subjects. They both can portray innocence as well as extreme complexity.
Often they seem best portrayed as dolls. This can remove them one step from being so literal yet still allow the psychological weight. Perhaps that is something not noticed immediately yet allows the viewer easier access. To myself I can muse about the viewers engagement with them as dolls however It is the felt response I am after in every case.
