War Dance

— 4×6” original art
— charcoal, pastel, and copper metallic pencil
— toned, acid free paper

One of the most memorable pets we had as kids were two sweet ferrets named Molly and Maggie. They were adorable little cuties full of mischief. Playfully, they would show their little teeth and bounce up and down, doing the best imitation of a weasel war dance that they could. Featured in this art print is not the popular, fuzzy, pet ferret, but the wild and legitimately fierce black-footed ferret – one of the most endangered mammals in North America due to disease and human destruction of their native habitat.

The

Fauna Collection

This collection of beautiful 4×6″ charcoal pencil and linoprint originals were created in the month of October as a meditation on the diversity of nature found in our back yards. Following prompts from the Wild October draw list, many of the creatures featured are characters in my own life story. Now it’s time for them to have a place in your home.

The coyote is standing, facing to the right. Its right front paw is curled under it as it throws its head up, mouth open, eyes closed, ears tucked against its head, teeth bared in a howl. White fur trails down its neck and chest, while the rest of its body is black and white flecked. The phases of the moon are floating in an arc above the coyote: crescent moon, half moon, full moon, then back to half moon and crescent moon. The moon are solid copper. Under the coyote floats a solid circular sun with sun beams spiking out of it.Opportunity Call — Art Print
