"Morning Cloak" by Hunt Slonem is a jubilant celebration of transformation and color, featuring a kaleidoscope of butterflies set against a radiant pink background. Each butterfly is rendered in vivid hues—blues, yellows, reds, and whites—brought to life through Slonem’s expressive brushwork and signature vertical hatching. The repetition of form becomes a rhythmic meditation, with each creature fluttering in its own energetic space while contributing to the harmony of the whole. Framed in ornate gold, "Morning Cloak" radiates warmth and joy, capturing the symbolic beauty of the butterfly as a timeless emblem of renewal, hope, and spiritual awakening.
