HORSES: "Reassurance" ~ oil painting

"Reassurance" by © Karrel Christopher
Original oil on panel painting ~ 33 x 40 cm
...continuing with my HORSE series celebrating the beauty, spirit and tenderness of majestic equines. Despite their large size, horses often communicate in a most delicate, gentle manner...a soft nudge, subtle eye contact...sharing breath...day dreaming ...transcending space and time...they become one with the universal music.
May we always show them respect, kindness and compassion...allowing them dignity, freedom and happiness. They are part of our Earth Family.

Deer Buck oil on canvas painting

DEER BUCK "Brendon" 
~ original oil on canvas painting
~ measures 20 x 24 inches
It has been an honor and a privilege to earn the trust and affection of this deer buck. After a year of compassionate patience, he now enthusiastically approaches me making a low frequency bellow, bows his head for pats, nuzzles and scratches - and offers me sweet sloppy kisses in return. It is amazing to connect with such a magnificent being.

Border Designs on FRAME DRUMS hand painted

Selection of *Border Design* 
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:
DRUMS: http://karrelchristopher.com/drums-wildlife-a-plants.html

~ 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 art website and face book page to view some of my available creations and commissioned works.

SHANI ... baby Giraffe

Oil on canvas 16" x 20" © 2012
by Karrel Christopher "SHANI" - young Giraffe
It was so moving to be at the Los Angeles Zoo the day she was born. I had already fallen in love with her majestic parents. In the weeks and months that followed, it was a privilege to watch her develop. I simply had to paint her! Giraffes have a beautiful energy ... I will never forget my experiences with them.
