Description

(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) This black and white beauty is commonly called a Zebra Longwing, or a Heliconius Charitonius for those who prefer to sound important, or scientific. He was free to fly around and show off his bold stripes, near colorful flowers. I on the other hand, had to drive all the way to Northern Michigan, pay for a ferry ride to Mackinac Island on Lake Huron, and pay an admission fee into the Butterfly Conservatory. Although this beautiful scene was well worth the trip, I did not think that ... Butterflies Are Free.

I created this image from my original photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures or other effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green magnifier square as the cursor is placed over the image.

PLEASE NOTE: Our professional printing facilities have a feature for customers who desire artwork prepared for them to be in standard sizes such as 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30, 36 x 24 and so on. When you select your image to purchase, from the SIZE tab choose a VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE format. Notice that some portions of my original image may not be included in these cropped formats. The NATURAL format is the way I composed the image in camera or during final processing. Sometimes this would create an image size which required the use of non-standard mats or frames. So go ahead and see for yourself, by viewing my images in these new formats to decide which one may (or may not) best suit your needs or style of wall art. Of course, you may always choose the NATURAL format and purchase my art as it was originally composed and created.

Many thanks and best wishes!
