Description
The Bobcat by Amy E. Fraser is a painting of a beautiful wild cat gazing cautiously out at the viewer, alert and ready to pounce amidst colorful forest foliage in a whimsical woodland landscape in shades of red, magenta and purple. The Bobcat is a distinctive and much admired animal featured in many stories of the indigenous peoples of North and Central America, and in the folklore of European-descended inhabitants of the Americas. The Bobcat is a delight to behold, overflowing with charm, intelligence and character and is part of Amy E. Fraser’s Menagerie collection of whimsical hand drawn and hand painted animal portraits.
A menagerie is traditionally a collection of captive animals, frequently exotic, kept for display; a precursor to the modern zoo or zoological garden. However, Amy’s Menagerie is one of the imagination only, all animals represented in this collection are wild and free. The “Menagerie” is basically a catchy title to encompass a rather large, eclectic series of full bodied, detailed, head to toe illustrations of magnificent real world animals displayed in colorful landscape settings with a fun, folksy, fairytale vibe presented in a horizontal format.
The Menagerie Painting Collection by Amy E. Fraser. The Menagerie works are one of a kind, original paintings created with care and dedication to traditional human craftsmanship. The Menagerie Series is inspired by Amy’s lifelong connection to animals and is an impassioned tribute to the beauty and magic of our beloved Animal Kingdom.
