Night Flight by Amelia Leonards

On a single night once a year in the deep summer, when the crickets sing in endless chorus and the leaves are so green they’re blinding, the fox spirits fly.

These aren’t the spirits you know or have heard of; these are known only to those animals living deep in the woods, who whisper stories never heard by human ears in the loam scented dark. These fox spirits wait all year, wrapped safe in silken cocoons below last years dead leaves, to emerge after sundown and soar for one night through shadows on luminous wings.

When the drifting, dipping lights appear beneath her, the moon herself is so curious that she dips low, lower, leaving the vault of the sky and settling into rustling treetops like a bird returning to her nest. Moths rejoice at her nearness, fluttering on silent wings to brush against her cold, glowing face, and the fox spirits leap and dance.

As morning comes they fade with the moonlight, wings growing thinner and thinner and leaps slower and slower, until all at once they disappear, dissolved in the rosy dawn light to sink beneath the leaves and Dream of their next flight.

As always, the original piece will ship matted but unframed. Not only does glass make foxes and owls nervous, it’s also sometimes rather brutally mauled by the USPS, and nobody needs that!

Image Size is 11.5 X 8″ and is painted with watercolor and white ink on Arches 140lb cold press paper.

Tails of Life and Devotion by Kelley Hensing

Medium: oil paint on wood, gold paint embellishments in piece and used for outer oval. Frame: new, custom size in gray, with accents of black and gold added.

Art Measures: 9.5×12.5 in, with Frame: 13×16 in

~If you’ve missed purchasing the original, this image will be used as part of my open edition prints and note card series, available later this year in my shop.

Pheraia by Daniel Bitton

Pheraia, meaning ‘of the beasts’, is one of the many titles of Artemis each representing a different divine role. As the goddess of the hunt being one of her main attributes, I wanted to portray the deep connection and loyalty she shared with her hunting dog.

Often being depicted with her hounds, this enduring pair symbolizes the timeless relationship between humans and dogs which spans across cultures and generations. Neolithic humans 6,000 years ago were sometimes buried alongside their dogs with the oldest buried dog belonging to a puppy found in a 14,000 year old grave in Germany. After recently adopting a dog with my fiancé, I felt compelled to make at least one painting inspired by them.

Submerged by Amber Feng

This piece was inspired by the practice of underwater meditation. Whether you’re in a pool, the ocean, sensory deprivation tank, or simply in your bathtub, I like to imagine how peaceful it would feel to be floating, serenely, with any stress and anxiety you have leaching and ebbing into the water around you.

Echo of Moraine by Katie Croonenberghs

“The light of the setting sun slashed across the mountains

Their towering peaks cast deep in shadow by the heavy storm like a longing embrace

And the song of life rumbled through the sky and pierced the darkness there

An echo of memory, of greetings and tomorrows”

Inspired, at least in part, by the mountains of Moraine Lake in Banff, Canada

Painted in watercolor and a touch of gouache. Artwork is 9×6 inches, conservation mounted and double matted to fit an 11×14 inch frame Mat colors are dark tawny brown and deep forest green. Any watermarks will not appear on the original, they are for digital viewing only.

Inner Fire by Carly Milligan

I’m afraid I don’t have anything poetic to say about this lady. Though I dare say she speaks for herself. This piece was a chance for me to play with new materials by working on (and behind) Dura-lar with mixed media and then mounting onto a sturdy wood panel and finishing with oils. Looking at her now, perhaps she was also a chance for me to explore the inner strength we all have but sometimes obscure and hide.

Please note that I will be out of my studio this week and unable to ship her before July 18th. Thank you for your understanding!

5 x 7 inches Acrlya gouache, color pencil, and oil on Dura-lar mounted to wood panel. Panel is one inch deep with the sides painted black, and signed on the edge. Ready to sit, hang, or be framed as you desire.
