U.S customers, my miniature paintings are exempt from tariffs, so the postage remains much the same!

I have just listed this handpainted, stag decorative dish. It comes with an optional display stand. He was a delight to paint against a dark blue, starry sky.

Ragnar. Living up to his name 'Ragnar The Awkward', and being immortalised courtesy of a paint brush. It's a work in progress, the painting, not him. Apparently he's perfect just as he is...😏

Know what would make a lovely Christmas pressie?

Art.

But I may be A TAD biased so perhaps take all my advice with a pinch of salt.

And some lemon & Tequila

Larger paintings can be paid in instalments from my Etsy shop, so you can spread the cost. Also for U.S customers, there is no tariffs on artwork.
