Hello and welcome to Fififoxi's shop. AT THE MOMENT WE ARE TAKING A LONG BREAK - WE APOLOGISE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. When we reopen you'll find original art, unique gifts and pretty cards for every occasion such as seasonal celebrations, birthdays and special anniversaries. From paintings and prints to miniatures and greetings cards, they're all designed and handmade by me in my Herefordshire studio. I hope you find something you like.
You can be sure we send out items promptly, usually within a day of receiving your order - however because of new regulations WE CAN NO LONGER DELIVER TO CERTAIN COUNTRIES INCLUDING EU MEMBER COUNTRIES. Any order that inadvertently requests delivery to affected countries will be cancelled and refunded. We are very sorry for any disappointment this may cause.
The deaths head hawk moth may seem a strange subject for a miniature painting but historically flowers and insects have always been favorite theme of artists and decorators - that's not surprising as they are so beautiful and the subject is very versatile. Dutch painters in particular liked to include insects in their paintings and spent a great deal of time trying to catch their fleeting beauty and I like to think I am carrying on an ancient tradition when I paint these subjects. I take great care in choosing a frame that will enhance the painting and often refurbish frames to compliment a certain painting.
In particular the deaths head hawk moth has long been associated with myth and magic and so it's a suitably spooky subject for Halloween.
I like to have little paintings for sale because they are a great way to own original art at affordable prices and they make lovely everlasting gifts for any occasion.

Full description
This framed miniature mixed media painting of a deaths head hawk moth with floral spray and berries is signed & dated by me. The original floral spray is hand painted using the best professional artist quality watercolours and overlays the hand enhanced and printed hawk moth taken from my original design. The fragility and delicacy of the hawk moth and flowers make this little painting an attractive, unusual and perhaps quirky gift and the combination of print and paint make each one truly unique. Great for steampunk or gothic enthusiasts.
Measuring 8 x 8 cm. in total (inner dimension 4.5 x 4.5 cm.) the little high quality frame is from Marks and Spencer's and is chosen to enhance the delicate painting.
