Monarch’s Day Out

Photo of a butterfly painting. It is framed in pale gold and surrounded by leaves outside. The butterfly is a bright orange monarch.

Original Art by Laura Siadak

For a brief week or two in September, the monarchs arrive. They’re traveling down to Mexico for the winter. The flowers they seem to like most in my yard are the native Savanna Blazing Star – 5ft massive spikes of bright purple. Only got to see one this year, but she very nicely posed for a while so I could snap a few photos before she went on her way again. I wanted to show how temporary they are, pausing only for a while for a visit.

This is an 8x10in watercolor of that very same butterfly, who’s most likely well on her way south.

The title is based off of the piece by fiddler Mark O’Connor – A Butterfly’s Day Out.

Painting includes frame.

Laura Siadak is a traditional painter delving into the realm of fantastical illustration. Her love of stories unfold in brief moments within her work. She encourages others to share a story they see from within a piece of artwork, as if adding on another chapter. Much of her work also relies on what friends and family have said around her, even if not knowing they'd sparked an idea. Laura has a BFA from Alfred, School of Art and Design in Alfred, NY 2002 and moved to the St. Louis area in 2005.
