"Northwest Daisies" Original Oil Painting by Erin Hanson, 2025 30 x 40 in Original & Prints Available About the Painting I love painting the lavender fields in Sequim on the Olympic Peninsula, in Washington state. The colors are so vibrant and alive--they stir my blood and make me reach for my brushes. This painting captures a field of white daisies in front of dark purple lavender rows, with the Olympic mountains starkly blue in the background. Erin Hanson creates landscapes in oil using her iconic Open Impressionism style. The impressionistic brush strokes of the original oil painting create a sense of movement and changing light within the piece. https://www.erinhanson.com/portfolio/northwest-daisies

Realistic paintings of moths and butterflies in frames of varying styles. The pieces are sitting on a distressed white tabletop. There are hints of wood tone showing throughout the white surface, which you can also see behind the insects. This helps to indicate that they have been painted on clear glass, and each one looks like it is floating in the middle its respective frame. Top row: red admiral, white-lined sphinx Middle row: question mark butterfly, black swallowtail Bottom row: monarch, honey locust moth

Hi, hello, here to let you know that a selection of moth & butterfly paintings are on sale in my web shop through the end of august :)

Officially calling it on my (mostly) berries series! It's been so fun to explore the vastly different ways that similar structures express themselves 🫐

Saguaro Sunset Original Oil Painting by Erin Hanson, 2017 57 x 38 in Original Sold Canvas Prints Available About the Painting A dramatic sunset sky lights up the background of these stately saguaros. The desert brush and prickly pear cacti in the foreground create texture and interest in the foreground of this piece. The brush strokes in this painting are loose and impressionistic, alive with color and texture. https://www.erinhanson.com/portfolio/saguaro-sunset

Saguaros are an incredible cactus and many desert animals depend on them for habitat. They are a protected species, and I couldn't imagine an Arizona desert without them.

An illustrated poster showing 9 different species of velvet ants, which are actually female flightless wasps. They are mostly brownish, yellow, orange, and red in color, with various degrees of black markings. They are illustrated on a vibrant orange background.

Velvet Ants of North America! 🐜

A photo of a large silk moth on a white sheet in front of a mercury vapor bulb light. This is a Tulip-Tree Silkmoth (Callosamia anguilifera), it has dark brown caps on the top of the wing that change into lighter browns, oranges, and creams with white and black eyespots on the forewing and wing tips.

A yellow moth perched on my finger. This is a Honey Locust Moth (Syssphinx bicolor). The forewings are yellow with tiny gray dots and spots. The hindwings fade from a dark, coral orange to yellow.

A small, fuzzy moth perched on a white sheet in front of an LED light. This is a Pink Striped Oakworm moth (Anisota virginiensis). It has a fuzzy orange head with smooth wings that fade from burnt orange to a mauve-purple. It has two white dots near the top of the forewing.

A small, very fluffy white moth perched on a white sheet in front of a mercury vapor bulb. This is a Dot-Lined White moth. It's head and abdomen are fuzzy and remind me of faux fur fabric. The wings are white with brighter white, reflective veins and black dots throughout.

Even more finds from the Bell's Bend State Park #NationalMothWeek event! We hiked around in the dark and had uv, incandescent, LED, and mercury vapor bulbs in multiple spots around the outdoor center. Such an incredible night! ID's in the alt. #BugSky #Invertebrates 🪲 #moths

I mean, they didn't stutter when they said they want to replace us.

A Virginia Creeper Sphinx moth (Darapsa myron) hanging from an oak leaf. It has differing shades of olive green along its wings and abdomen.

A huge (five and a half inches long) Hickory Horned Devil caterpillar (Citherona regalis) hanging from a branch. It has large, orange horn shaped protrusions on its head and a bright green body with a yellow stripe along the side. This caterpillar turns into the Regal Moth.

A large Imperial Moth (Eacles imperialis) on the side of a tree. It has huge yellow wings that fade into a burnt orange color at the tips.

A Spanish Moth (Xanthopastis regnatrix) crawling along the forest floor. It has an orange head and a black body with alternating white stripes and dots along its length.

A few more of my favorite #moth finds ever for #MothWeek! I'm still in awe of finding that huge Hickory Horned Devil (second pic), it was massive! Species info is in the alt, as always. #BugSky #Invertebrates 🪲

The American Crow demonstrates adaptability and intelligence, thriving in various environments. Its vocalizations highlight their communication skills and social structures.

A wide format three color screen print in rusty brown, yellow, and black. An American toad sits on a leaf surrounded by forest floor litter with a black rhinoceros beetle in the background.

Another new screen print! We've got a sweet little forest floor scene with a toad 🐸 and rhinoceros beetle 🪲. Measures 10" by 4.5", edition of 30. 🎨🐡

Latest print: A blueberry branch! 🫐

Printing these on wooden bookmarks for my upcoming markets. That totals 4 printed bookmark designs in the collection!

I've made two plant designs in a row, which means an insect will certainly be next on the docket. Maybe a beetle?
