Description
The Red Iguana by Amy E. Fraser is a painting of a stunning Red Iguana with a regal demeanor gazing out at the viewer from a beautiful tropical rainforest setting with lush foliage and wildflower splendor. The Red Iguana is an herbivorous lizard that is a sub-species of the Green Iguana found primarily in the Western Regions of Costa Rica. It grows to over five feet in length from head to tail, with a body weight upward of 20 pounds. Iguanas have keen vision and can see shapes, shadows, colors and movement at long distances. Their visual acuity enables them to navigate through crowded forests and to locate food. The Red Iguana 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.
