Giant Panda Wildlife Art Print

Giant Panda
Art Print 10 x 10

I love his happy face, his roly-poly body, his soft black and white outfit, his cute little ears.  I really can't think of anything about him not to like.  For the most part he is what you would call laid back, not aggressive, noncompetitive and non demanding. All he asks is a nice quiet rain forest and some bamboo to munch. Admittedly he isn't much of a "go-getter." He has not invented the wheel,  high speed computers or a cure for the common cold, though in his defense, he has no need for any of those things.  On the other hand, neither did he invent the atomic bomb, network TV or high heel shoes.  So at least his lack of ambition has done no harm.  It is true, I have read that pandas have been known to attack humans, but only when they are irritated by them.  Yes, well, I don't hold that against them, as I myself have had similar feelings.  All in all, this is one I would like to claim as a friend.

To introduce you to my new print shop page, I am offering "Giant Panda" and other requested reproductions at a special  price.  These reproductions are printed on fine, acid free art paper and are subjected to scrupulous inspection by the artist herself -  (that would be me!)   During this difficult economy, it is a perfect opportunity to own artwork, without paying the price of an original.  And they make great gifts.

Wildlife Art African Lion Print

The King
Wimoweh
8 x 10
art print from my original pastel painting

I love cats - those who live in houses and those who live in the jungle or forest.  Even with all their differences, it is obvious that they belong to the same family.  If you look closely, you can see the lion in the kitten, and the kitten in the lion.  They purr, they pounce, they play, they stalk.  I read somewhere that God created the cat so that man might enjoy the pleasure of petting a lion.  But of all the majestic cats, large and small, there is only one called "King." 

Despite its ferocity,  the lion seems to be a favorite character in stories and songs.  Usually he is softened a bit in order to help us cope with him.  I loved the Narnia series, the books and the movies, in which the lion Aslan was a character both loved and feared, who many believe was meant to represent Jesus. It was a wonderful adventure as well as a sort of parable.  Near the end of the movie, as Aslan walks off into the sunset,  Tumnus the faun tells young Lucy,  "He isn't a tame lion, you know."   May that be said of all of us...

My favorite lion song is of course, The Lion Sleeps Tonight, also known as Wimoweh.  This particular version from the movie, the Lion King is just for fun, although that story could also be called a parable about coming of age and accepting responsibility...

Kitty Cat Sleeping Kitten Art Print

Sweet Dreams
Art Print
7 x 9
Sold
Anyone who has ever shared their life with a cat will attest to the notion that kittens are a study in extremes.   During any ten-minute period, they can be seen racing through the house with paws barely touching the floor,  climbing the walls and curtains, stalking some dangerous but completely invisible prey,  purring quietly on a lap and sleeping like an angel on whatever bedding may be available.  Then the cycle begins all over again.  And they are alternately described as "angelic" and "little devils," sometimes in the same breath.  Life with a kitten is never boring. They can be great companions but they are not dogs, (who by the way I also love) they do not think the way dogs think and they will never behave as dogs. Their unpredictability is part of their charm, and one of the reasons that we cat-lovers find them so absolutely irresistible.  And,  like all of God's creatures, they are beautiful and our respect and care as they fill their own special place in creation.

To introduce you to my new print shop page, I am offering this, and other requested reproductions at a special  price.  These reproductions are printed on fine, acid free art paper and are subjected to scrupulous instruction - the artist herself (that would be me!)   During this difficult economy, it is a perfect opportunity to own artwork, without paying the price of an original.  And they make great gifts.

Equine Art Black Friesian Horse Art Print

Freedom
Friesian Horse Print

I have renamed this painting Freedom in its print form because that is the emotion it expresses.  If you have ever watched horses galloping across the distant hills,  you know what I mean.  For just  a moment, you know the wild and free and free feeling of the freedom of running, stirring up the wind, filling your heart with the joy of life, of movement, of being. 

To introduce you to my new print shop page, I am offering this, and other requested reproductions at a special  price.  These reproductions are printed on fine, acid free art paper and are subjected to scrupulous instruction - the artist herself (that would be me!)   During this difficult economy, it is a perfect opportunity to own artwork, without paying the price of an original.  And they make great gifts.
