In popular beliefs, they are viewed as messengers from beyond. The Emperor Moth, with its large eye patterns, represents a silent watcher, a peaceful witness of mystical endeavors. In ancient cultures, these beautiful moths were thought to be the children of the Moon. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe story behind\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you believe in synchronicity?\u003c\/strong\u003e Here's a curious story that happened to me a few weeks into painting moths... (and I will put this story on every one of my moth art pages, because I feel there is something beyond my human understanding that connected me to these ethereal creatures). \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eOne evening, I thought a tiny hummingbird had entered my house. The shadow fluttered silently toward one of my ceiling lamps, so I quickly recognized the intruder: a moth, a couple of inches large, with beautiful brown patterns. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAs I chased it for a minute or so until I caught it under a cup and brought it back outside, I chuckled thinking that I've never seen a moth so big in my house, or outside my house for that matter. Also, I had just started painting moths for a scarf project a couple of weeks before. So you can imagine, I had been already diligently researching the many colorful moths of Earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA few days later... again, another moth. A smaller one, a different color. This time, I looked it up -- it's called the \"Orange Underwing Moth\" and it looks just like the description.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the following weeks, lo and behold, moths of all sizes began visiting me... I felt as if the universe was telling me to keep painting them! I even told my husband so. But the story was not over.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe month of August came with a traveler guest that totally blew my mind! One morning, my husband, already in on our running joke that I was the Moth Lady now, beckoned me to check out something outside. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eRight outside, on the door screen, the biggest moth I have ever seen was chilling out, wings wide open... Its wings were rather tattered at the edges, a sign that this moth had seen a lot and traveled from afar.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e Of course I took lots of pictures, and then began wondering what kind of moth would be the size of a palm (I am absolutely not exaggerating!). It measured seven inches across. My phone image info suggested I check out \"Black Witch Moth\". Indeed, the winged visitor was a female Black Witch. She had traveled all the way from South America, to deliver me a special message. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eEver since, when I gaze outside at the moon, I imagine a new painting, a new friend visiting my canvas and whispering the story of its moonlit travels. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT THE ART PRINTS:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePAPER\u003cbr\u003ePremium matte, bright white archival art paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e~PRINT SIZES~\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 x 7 inches paper (4 x 6\" print area)\u003cbr\u003e8 x 10 inches paper (7 x 9\" print area)\u003cbr\u003e11 x 14 inches paper (10 x 13 print area)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eART PRINT IS UNFRAMED\u003cbr\u003e(framed photos are for display purpose only)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sizes I use match the commonly found frames at your local art and craft stores. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach print is hand-signed and titled by the artist.
