“SHEEP 31” by © Karrel Christopher
Original oil on canvas painting ~ 50 x 50 cm
This Black Zwartbles Sheep was my first sheep friend. We met alongside
a barbed wire fence at a large open green field. Though I had admired
many sheep from a distance – this was my
first up close and personal meeting. I was entranced by her beautiful
golden eyes, the wonderful scent of her wool and her eager, tender
affection. At the time, I had recently seen exclusive footage of the
massacre of exported sheep September 2012 in Karachi, Pakistan shared by animal rights activist. The
brutal, senseless culling of nearly 10,000 sheep was horrifically
devastating and haunted me.
So here I was, hugging, kissing and
caressing “31” and I found myself collapsed into a flood of
uncontrollable sobbing. She nuzzled closer as if to heal me. I prayed
aloud…for her…and all sheep worldwide that have suffered great
atrocities and lost their lives to human ignorance and greed. I have
been so blessed to visit with her and the rest of her small herd many
times – getting to know and love them all.
I have also met many
more at several sheep shearing festivals and documented their strife and
misery. The sound of their voices, their luminous eyes, observing the
complexities of their personal relationships and the honor of holding
baby lambs in my arms has moved me to the core. These experiences are
life changing.
Painting “31” was very emotional for me…being another
step for me as a Vegan, a photographer and an artist. I present her to
the world with overwhelming love and respect – with her ear tags
removed. In my heart, she is not property or livestock or an amusement
at a kid’s farm. She is a magnificent living being. She is part of my
Earth Family. I beseech the world to please end the horrible animal
holocaust.

HAND PAINTED FRAME DRUMS
by Karrel Christopher
~ currently available ~ affordably priced ~
Each is an original painting - no two alike - created with great care and spiritual intentions. They may be hung as fine art and be played for music, mediation and ceremony with a soft mallet. The original designs are painted on quality Remo Buffalo Drums - 12", 14" x 3.5" frame drum. Includes mallet. The non-leather, cruelty free Fiberskyn head is pulled over a 3.5 inch deep frame/acousticon shell- providing excellent resonance. Braided cords are used for cross bracing to add to the look and feel of the Buffalo Drum. The center of the cording is comfort-coated for comfort. Beat near the center of the drum for deep pitches and accent them with higher pitch rhythms from the edge of the drum. *The synthetic drum head is more tone stable in various humidity and temperatures than animal skin drums. Every drummer I have spoken with compliments their durability and rich tone quality! Please feel welcome to contact me about purchase information, special commissions and local & international shipping details.
~ 8 drums are currently available on my website:

~ Animals inspire and enrich my life in countless ways. Each day my
love, appreciation and respect for them continue to grow. It is my hope
that through my oil paintings, designs, photographs and animal rights
graphics - that people may be inspired towards compassionate living. In
our awakening to the realities that animals experience, we can
consciously evolve and decide to make kind and responsible choices for
food, comfort, lifestyle, fashion, entertainment and profit. In doing so
- animals, nature, people and Earth may have a chance to find
contentment, health and a peaceful balance.
Imagery of animals can
remind us of our sacred bond with all with all life. In making the
connection we realize that we are not alone and that caring for their
lives is equally as important as our own. You are invited to visit my
