Prayer Plants & Butterflies

 "So many prayers on the wings of butterflies and magical leaves..."

PRAYER PLANTS graced with
Yellow-spotted Gonatryx & White Cabbage butterflies

~ original oil painting by © Karrel Christopher

In this revision of an earlier painting from my California days, I refined several of the emerging new leaves on the primary prayer plant. I also added a White Cabbage to offer company to the original Yellow-spotted Gonatryx. Together they grace a glowing background in this contemporary work. The tilt of each leaf calls to the heavens to bring love and peace to the world, while the delicate papillons patiently wait full of hope.

CHEETAH 4 ~ Original Oil Painting

Cheetah Lady ~ Guided by Sky & Earth Spirits
by artist © Karrel Christopher
Original oil on canvas painting 18" x 36" inches
~ available for purchase ~
The 16th work in my series of Big Cats and my 4th Cheetah painting.  My first three Cheetahs were special commissions. In this fourth work, I wanted to play with a more fanciful style ~ celebrating a mystical connection with the Earth, elements and life.  The butterflies and beetles included are indigenous to Kenya where many cheetahs live.  I deeply admire the dignity, beauty and wisdom of animals ~ and feel they have much to teach us.  The natural world can inspire, calm, heal and enlighten us, if we are open to its magic.  Hopefully people and the big cats will find more respectful and responsible ways of coexisting.  As with all beings, they deserve respect, compassion and protection. Create a world respectful, just, safe and joyous for everyone.
