Description
The Raccoon by Amy E. Fraser is a painting of an adorable northern raccoon looking cautiously out at the viewer with big beautiful brown eyes from within a lush green woodland landscape featuring pink and red flowers and dancing green ferns. The raccoon’s most distinctive features include extremely dexterous front paws, a bandit style facial mask, and the distinctive ringed tail. The raccoon is prominently featured in the mythologies of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. The Raccoon 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. Medium: Watercolor Pencil, Oil Pastel and Acrylic Paint on 140lb cold press acid free archival watercolor paper. All images copyright Amy E. Fraser. All rights reserved.
