Today I bring you some animals creations of Lisa Firke (her name rhymes with “quirky”). Just check out this wonderful rabbit!

(Images reproduced with permission from Lisa’s etsy and flickr sites.)

And this one!

And this “Pea-Turkey”!

And these birds!

I first met Lisa “on-line” last year through some of my classes, and I really enjoyed all the work she was uploading at her flickr site… but when I saw a certain little patterned line drawing, I just HAD to have him in the “Imaginary Animals!” And lucky for me, Lisa said “yes.”

BOOK GIVEAWAY
If you head on over to Lisa’s website today, you might catch a glimpse of the little guy… AND leave a comment for a chance to win a copy of the book. (Remember, leave a comment at HER site!) Update: Lisa’s winner was Tina W.

Today I’d like to introduce you to my friend Karine Swenson. I met Karine about 8 years ago when I lived in Salida, Colorado, and was fortunate to show my artwork in her gallery for several years before she closed up shop and moved to Joshua Tree, CA.

(All images are shown here with permission from Karine’s Blog.)

Karine is a wonderful painter and person, and she’s great at everything — figurative work, abstraction, animals…. Since moving to the desert, she has started a series of wild animals — and in particular, rabbits — that I just LOVE.

Regarding her animal work, she wrote recently:

Why are we so infatuated with animals? I suppose we see ourselves in them, in a way. We project onto them our own emotions. Sometimes, their struggles become our own. I often ask myself why I like painting animals so much. The answer is fleeting, at best. I know that I am much more interested in painting wild animals than I am in painting domestic animals or pets. I think it’s because our encounters with wild animals are so much more fleeting. I want to capture that moment and preserve it. Remember it. How special it seemed. As though, just for one moment, God was looking right at me and saying, “here is a gift.” Whatever it is that keeps me painting the creatures of the desert, I know I am not done yet.

And just look at these quick sketches she made recently with ink and a feather!

One of Karine’s jackrabbit paintings is featured in “Drawing and Painting Imaginary Animals” (not one of the above, I want to preserve the surprise!), and I’m so glad she agreed to be in the book.

Book Giveaway!
Today Karine has a book to give away over at Karine’s blog, so head on over and leave a comment (at HER blog) for a chance to win! Update: Karine’s winner was Claudia K.
