Happy Tuesday!
I want to introduce you to my friend Karine’s series of imagined animal paintings. They are huge and FANTASTIC!
“Bacon.” Oil on canvas, 20 x 20 inches (sold)
“Gator.” Oil on canvas, 30 x 40 inches (sold)
“Mama-roo.” Oil on canvas, 48 x 36 inches (sold)
“Polar Bear.” Oil on canvas, 30 x 30 inches
“Seated Giraffe.” Oil on canvas, 20 x 20 inches.
These paintings are based on tiny collectible Japanese erasers made by a company called Iwako. When I found out that toys are often copyrighted, I wrote a letter to the CEO of the company to get permission to create paintings of them. I was granted permission to paint them, with a promise that I would not sell prints or reproductions of the paintings. These are special works of art for that reason.
