"Sunlight Sequence" - 10x10" Framed Butterflies by Chris Lee

Sunlight Sequence captures a radiant vertical alignment of four butterflies, each showcasing variations of yellow, cream, and burnt orange tones. Artist Chris Lee arranges these specimens to create a subtle rhythm in coloration and pattern — a movement from vibrant lemony yellows to creamy hues tipped with warm amber. The butterflies are mounted against a deep teal background, a bold and thoughtful choice that enhances their vivid natural colors and adds visual depth to the composition.

The display’s format evokes both scientific precision and poetic grace, drawing viewers into the beauty of gradient and repetition found in nature.
