ABOUT THIS LISTING This listing is for an original miniature matchbox diorama box scene painted with professional-grade watercolors on 100% cotton Arches watercolor paper and assembled using archival-quality adhesive. The box is a real matchbox painted a vibrant seafoam hue using velvety acryla gouache paint. The external portion of the matchbox measures roughly 1.4x2.x0.5 inches. This is not a print, but a one-of-a-kind original painted papercraft creation.
ABOUT THE PIECE Arctic terns are serious globetrotters, best known for their annual pole to pole expeditions. At an annual average of 55,000 miles, their migration is the longest in the world, moving them through all five oceans, and they can fly up to a thousand miles in just a day. I'm fascinated by the wild dives these birds make as they plunge straight down from the sky to seize a fish out of the ocean, and it was this posture I wanted to capture in my miniature artistic rendition of these astonishing creatures.
