Swallowtail Butterfly - Hand Painted Art Tile
$49.95What I learned about Swallowtails is that they love my Butterfly Bushes I have in my garden. Also known as Buddleia bushes, they grow like a weed and have beautiful lavender colored bottle-brush like blooms. So of course I put my Swallowtail Butterfly atop a lavender Butterfly Bush in bloom.

Monarch Butterfly - Hand Painted Art Tile
$49.95Doesn’t everyone have some of these little orange beauties fluttering around their gardens in the summertime? I discovered they fly southward from Canada down to California taking advantage of the “thermal “warm air currents that help transport them down here in only 3 days. They follow their source of food the milkweed plants where they also lay their eggs. In Spring they migrate back up North again – the only insects to make both a North and South migration. I enjoy the varied colors and markings on their wings and their overall graceful and delicate design.

Mermaid - Hand Painted Art Tile
$49.95These mythological aquatic creatures have a human head with the torso of a woman and the tail of a fish. Derived from the old English word for sea (mer) and for a woman (maid) these legendary sirens of the sea are known to sing to sailors to enchant them. They are widely represented in literature and folklore and remain popular in our culture today. I perched my little blonde mermaid on a rock overlooking the sea.

Sea Turtle - Hand Painted Art Tile
$49.95On my fist visit to Hawaii I was snorkeling and came upon a green sea turtle skimming gracefully and fast over the sandy white bottom. I tried to swim fast and see if I could touch him but he was a better swimmer than me. I was so inspired that when I came home I created this Green Sea Turtle tile in memory of him.

Sun - Hand Painted Art Tile
$49.95During the Renaissance a distinct style of art developed in Italy which reflected parallel developments in science including a new theory that the earth may revolve around the Sun. Artisans became more focused on the human form as well. This Renaissance- era sun design was used as a base for sundials and portrayed in Renaissance era- paintings and in early astrological books.
