About the Item
Artist Comments
A folk art style painting of a rhinoceros in a field of wildflowers basking in the moonlight, with two birds resting on the animal's back. Artist Carolyn Pennor says she wanted to emphasized the relationship of wild creatures. "I layered the canvas with modeling paste and gesso multiple times to create texture," explains Carolyn. "For harmony, I painted each area of the piece starting with a dark version of the color, then I gradually applied lighter colors."
About the Artist
