Kune Kune Piglets ~ oil portrait

Charlie & Julia ~ Kune Kune Piglets
oil on canvas painting by © Karrel Christopher
This portrait of my farm friends measures 60 x 30 cm.
It was truly a pleasure getting to know this brother and sister from the time that they were just a couple of days old.  Julia is so sweet and looks so much like her mother Joy.  Charlie is so loving and protective of his beautiful sibling.  They could not ask for a more gentle, tender and contented mother ~ who embodies so much kindness, love and enthusiasm. Thankfully this family has a life-long home where they can enjoy their relationships with each other, farm friends and people who adore and respect them.  Hopefully you will appreciate their special individuality - and consider their happiness and right to life.  
With an open mind and heart and a resolve to embrace positive changes - you too can be an ambassador of love and peace.

When we discover our conscience ~ we must act.

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.

SWAN portrait ~ oil on board painting

SWAN ~ Sir Gregory
original oil on board portrait by
© Karrel Christopher
measures 30 x 33 cm ~ available for purchase
This last year I have had the pleasure of getting to know and befriending the swan couple on the neighborhood pond.  By spending much time with them ~ just respectfully sitting with them and speaking softly ~ with my voice and heart.  We have formed a wonderful connection where they are totally at ease with me.  They see me and quickly approach with enthusiasm (not because I bring them bread and other junk food)...but because we trust each other and enjoy the company.  Amazingly, they both - especially the male have become protective of me.  When any dog approaches me, he will assertively go after the dog - driving him or her away....then sits nearby me...relaxed, wagging his tail, resuming his grooming, making soft vocalizations and making lots of direct eye contact.  It truly is a moving experience .  All he has to do for his safety is get in the water and swim away. But often he will actually get out of the water to settle the situation.
It certainly feels like a very gallant gesture, so I could not resist naming him Sir Gregory.  He and his partner, Lady Paula are treasured friends.  Each meeting teaches me more about their character, grace, beauty and intelligence.
Every member of our Earth Family have unique and fascinating qualities and personalities.  Each exist for their own reasons and deserve our compassion and protection.

Animals coexist together so beautifully and share intuitive communications. Each have unique feelings, expressions and Earthly wisdom that guides their relationships.
Humans can learn much from their mutual respect, kindness and compassion. 
This painting is in honor of an old friend "Spotty" and the magical feathered friends who often kept him company on our visits.  Their amazing energy is with me always.
