I’m finding lots & lots of butterfly art in the alleys.
Did you know butterflies are important to pollination? The Monarch Butterfly is the second most important insect pollinator, after bees.
I will be posting a lot of butterflies in the next months. Take heed of the message!

IN ADDENDUM
I was invited to a music session. I found it difficult to just groove, while the musicians created away.
Well, there were napkins & pens, hence this napkin art. “Helter Skelter” was raging on while I penned the above.

Wonderful murals. Super napkin drawings.
Thanks Timothy!
It’s crazy about the napkin art… but I like it! I’m glad I took pics. I’m sure the napkins will go the way of all cat claws…. eventually! 😀
Damn those eyes really appear as if they are looking back at you. Kinda creepy in its beauty.
This artist did a wondeful job here.
I feel this is art beyond a pretty face. It holds a message. Creepy, yes, but real, yes. ❦
Oh, I like this. This artist did a wondefrful job with everything, but the eyes…..wow
… eye kisses from me…. to you!
Smiling. Eye kisses right back
👁💋💋
Nice mural, probably not supported by Monsanto….hum Bayer now…:)
Nice drawings. you made good use of those napkins and mind wanderings
Uch… Bayer, now also Monsanto. Soon we will be a 1 corporation world.
I can bayerly believe it! Uch!
Yeah… the napkins are cool, but I’d like to sho,…… 😀 😀 🤡
Maybe years from now, collectors will pay a fortune for those sketchy napkins…:)
Fabulous! Reminds me of one of my favourite quotes: “Butterflies are self propelled flowers.” Robert A. Heinlein
Ah, Rebecca… always a positive or beautiful thought from you. Thank you! xo
You do well on a napkin my friend. The butterfly is cool, and yes I like your spin on the title. 😉
Yeah… the spin. 😉
Well, our pollinators need all the help they can get! x
At least their flowerigerians. 😉
Fabulous Street Art. I love it. The colors are so rich and it’s beautifully done. Love your napkin art as well. 🙂 Excellent.
It is good alley art. I’m heading out for an adventure tomorrow. Wish me art!

Gorgeous wall art , I love butterflies. I didn’t know that the monarch was second behind the bee in pollination . InlovecMonarchs! Love your art work too , esp #2! Love. It!!
Yeah, the Monarch is mighty important. Of course man has driven down their numbers (and the bees) with insecticides, herbicides and other pollution. I live on a Monarch migratory path. When I moved here18 years ago, I would see clouds of Monarchs during migration season. Now, I see a few each year. We planted some milkweed in the back. It’s the only plant they reproduce in. Also, there’s a butterfly sanctuary not far from here, on the Lakeshore, but it’s not enough.
Yes, man is the most destructive animal and a threat to all other species here on earth. We are a very arrogant ruthless race! I love Monarchs , so beautiful , my grandma had a huge butterfly garden just full of the big Monarch, one day I caught one and when I let go his colors were on my fingertips, I cried. I love the poem Milkwood, it is one of my favorites.
I understand why you cried. You learned a lot of humanity in that moment.
I forget that poem. I’m going to look it up now!
Dylan Thomas.
That much I remember. I just listened to Sir Richard Burton read it. I’m still shivering! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgMRD84MTQY<3
It’s beautiful
Wonderful! And the Monarchs are migrating! The drought stopped this, but they are here now in the thousands!
Yay! I’m on a migratory path. I used to see clouds of Monarchs, but not for the last 10 years. Maybe they will replenish here, as well. Although, it’s not drought here, it’s pollution and chemical herbicides and insecticides.
Wonderful art, Resa; those eyes are fabulous; the flutterby beautiful.. 🙂
Napkins can be found most anywhere! – Have pen will travel…
xoxoxo
Yes…have pen and have butterfly will travel!
xoxoxo 😀
Excellent butterfly and napkins!
Thanks… about the napkin art. I’m sure the artist is glad we like their garage door art! 😀
I complimented both: ‘excellent butterfly’ = garage door +’and napkins’ means that the napkins are also excellent. Maybe you should have posted the napkin art separately in order to avoid dilution of compliments . Do you do street art yourself by the way?
You went to a music session? I think you should take up the drums. Or the violin. Or hawk your napkin art to them to the musicians to a pretty penny.
Well, I was thinking of slapping around a tambourine, but I gotta tell you, the musicians are in the A+ category. My tambourine playing isn’t even in a category. Hey, they were impressed with the napkin art! Good enough for me!
Butterflies have always been a prism of beauty and life on it’s own; so much we can learn from them and their cycles. The graffiti is beautiful, I love the way it feels so natural to the wall, as though it was not sprayed on at all, but the wall was simply made that way.
The napkin drawings are beyond lovely as well!
Butterflies are so beautiful, in all the ways you have said here. Man is killing them off. Man is no butterfly, even in a poetic sense. So nice to see you here!!! ❤
Thanks…about my napkin art! 😀
Oh no ! Butterflies are now pollinating garages ! It must be a Canadian thing, probably something to do with maple syrup I expect 😉 Whatever next ? Love from Austria dear Resa xoxoxo ❤
SOON…. there will be Canadian garage doors flying around the world! Austria will adore them. Love back from Canada.. ❤ xoxoxoxo
lol. That will give the ufologists something to write home about xoxoxo ❤ 😳👽🛸🛸
You mean the ufgaragelogists
XOXOXO
I love butterflies (said every woman ever! 😂) can’t wait to see more. Will you post your own butterfly art work or just others’? Please say your own!
I liked the last sketch of yours the most. Not sure why..the two people I guess it felt like a dance.
Hope you’re well ❤️
I’ll try to post more of my work. Have you been to Art Gowns? There’s lots of my work over there.
https://artgowns.com/ Yeah, the last one is cool. I did about 8, but these are the only 3 I like. Hope you are well, too! ❤
I haven’t but I definitely will!
💋💋
Butterfly beauty! And the napkin art is superb.
Butterflies are hot this year, and I’ve got lots to post. Lol! Yeah, the napkin art, maybe I should frame them!! 😀 (only half kidding)
Those eyes are rather disconcerting yet the butterfly is just as powerful. Very cool.
As for the napkin drawings, your rock Sorceress! 🧚♀️👗
It’s giving us a message to take care of our butterflies, our mother nature.
Yes, each napkin is not only a drawing, it’s an incantation! 😀 ⚡️💥
Yessiree! They are most important!
And a lovely one each is, too!
Amazing, never seen before! This is the fortune of living in a big city (far away from the sometimes not so amusing traditions of Bavaria. Lol) Michael

😀😀😀
So gorgeous, dear Resa 😍💛 hugs from Barcelona 🇪🇸
OMG!! {{Hugs}} Barcelona! I was wondering where you were at this point… having the best time, obviously! xoxo 🇪🇸
Very cool pics and love the doodles!
Thank you, Melanie!
Very striking butterflies and fabulous napkin art!
Agree about the butterfly art! Ty about my napkin art! 😀
Oh, it is stunning!
Beautiful art- on the garage and the napkins.
Thank you, Sidran!
Nice work, Resa. The garage and napkins are both outstanding.
Many thanks for following my blog, which is appreciated.
Best wishes, Pete.
