Description Original watercolor painting by Sandra Gale featuring the Death's Head Hawk Moth with its notorious skull like design on its back. The actual skull on the insect is a lot less detailed, but artistic license was taken for a more interesting design. Hope you all like this one.

This is great!I love how the colourful background (lovely texture btw) contrasts with the moth. What is the moth sitting on? That drippy ring?

Hiya, Thanks for the nice words. The drippy part is just a little drama to make it a bit creepier. The moth by itself was a little bare. Thanks again!
