Scenic Route - Monarchs of the Mountains

Monarchs of the Mountains is a vibrant watercolor that celebrates the delicate beauty of monarch butterflies set against the strength of West Virginia’s landscape. Painted over a vintage 1963 West Virginia Centennial map, the artwork highlights the Northern Panhandle region while framing two monarchs resting on milkweed blossoms. The soft orange and black wings contrast with the green foliage and muted tones of the map, creating a layered piece that feels both natural and timeless. This artwork captures the intersection of Appalachian wilderness, heritage, and renewal, making it a striking addition for nature lovers and collectors of regional art.
