The Whole World is a Tiger

Apex predators are the top predator in a particular ecosystem. When humanity removes that predator devastating changes can take place in that ecosystem. Humans saw this clearly when wolves where reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. The elk population was kept in check, which changed the tree and shrub mix, which changed the environment for fish, birds and insects.There are so many unintended consequences to our a actions we can’t even imagine. We must tread very carefully on our natural world.

One of my latest works

This is one of the last paintings I finished in 2016. I call it "The Thief", its a fun painting about a god like creature who finds a hidden universe and steals one of the planets. I can't be serious all the time, sometimes I just have to have a little fun. Often I feel like I am illustrating a book that hasn't been written yet.   The Thief is acrylic on panel 16"x20". 

Encounter. my last completed painting for 2014

"Encounter" is 18x24 inches and is availble as a print on my Etsy site:   https://www.etsy.com/shop/CarolConnettFineArt

The finished Painting

I have finally finished this painting, I call it "Spring" but it was tempting to call it Birdbrain! It is 18" x 24" painted in acrylic with rice paper collage.

latest paintings

Here are my two latest paintings. The top on is Acrylic and rice paper collage, called "Inside out". The bottom is an oil painting called Babirusa's Birthday". Babirusa are wild asian pigs, they have tusks growing strait out of there heads, I thought it would be more fun to have trees instead of tusks.
