Butterfly Watercolour by Charu of a Monarch Butterfly by Nature Photographer Virginia Wright
Painting of Virginia Wright Monarch Butterfly Photograph
A week or so ago, I posted a Monarch butterfly photograph that I took in my bee and butterfly garden. Many of you know that one of my favorite things to do besides writing is photographing nature and foodstuff. Well, on Facebook, I posted this beautiful Monarch butterfly feasting on Joe-Pye Weed (above), and Charu Jain of Watercolour by Charu, from Bangalore, India, messaged me that she would like to paint my photograph. I told her I didn’t mind, but if she used it anywhere, that I would like to have credit for my photograph. :-) Charu agreed, and quickly got to work and created a beautiful watercolor of my butterfly. We both captured a moment in time from that one photograph. As my photograph inspired Charu to do her watercolor, my photographs inspire me in my illustrations, too. I illustrated two butterfly coloring books (go figure). Practice Your Way to Perfect: Butterflies Coloring Book and Practice Your Way to Perfect: Butterflies Coloring Book 2. I’ve always loved watching butterflies flitting here and there with their beautiful colors; it seemed fitting for me to illustrate a coloring book with butterflies. :-) You can find more of my nature photography on Instagram. Charu is the illustrator of Ten Zany Birds by Sherry Ellis. You can learn more about Charu here. It touched my heart to have such a talented artist want to paint “my” photography. Beautiful job Charu! Thank you for wanting to paint my butterfly. Xo
Hugs,
-Virginia Wright

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 21, 2011 OGLEBAY ZOO – WHEELING, WEST VIRGINIA- “Buzzzzzzzz What Honeybees Do by Virginia Wright” was highlighted at a presentation by Daniel Caron, MS, CAGS, an international speaker, a program facilitator, trainer and consultant (http://www.danielsprograms.com/about.htm).
Caron presented a program about Apiary Promotion and Product Development through Photography. Buzzzzzzzz was not only highlighted, but also part of a fundraiser for the Tri-State Beekeepers Association that encompasses beekeepers in Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
Buzzzzzzzz is written by Virginia (Brown) Wright who was born and raised in Belfast, Maine. Her recently released 26-page book was chosen for Caron’s highlight as it is not only packed with almost 2,000 words of simplified text that teaches children and adults about what honeybees do but because through her photographs, you see honeybees in their environment.

MORE ABOUT BUZZZZZZZZ WHAT HONEYBEES DO BY VIRGINIA WRIGHT: For her book, she went inside the beehive as “Nature Photographer” to take live photos. When asked why she didn’t illustrate this book like she did her others, she said: “I wanted to show children real photographs of the bees.” “How many children have seen a honeybee’s tongue?” I bring that to you in Buzzzzzzzz What Honeybees Do.” The photo featured on the book cover is of a honeybee feasting on the very top of a purple thistle.
