Japanese Sandhill Cranes - Hand Painted Art Tile
$45.95I was so enthralled watching a video of this elegant bird’s mating dance in the snow that I was inspired to create this crane design. Because the Sandhill cranes mate for life the Japanese consider them a symbol of eternal love and their wedding kimonos incorporate crane designs into their satin brocade silks. The Japanese character on the tile is the symbol for “love” so I like to give these as wedding or anniversary gifts. I found out Sandhill Cranes also live in the USA and I was able to visit a crane reserve in my area and see them up close and personal. These birds are typically 5 foot tall with a red forehead and black legs. When they migrate in the Fall you can hear their “trilling” sounds but can barely see them as they are flying @ 10,000 feet catching the “thermals” so they don’t have to flap their 5-8 foot wingspans very often. They are truly a magnificent bird.

Monarch Butterfly - Hand Painted Art Tile
$45.95Doesn’t everyone have some of these little orange beauties fluttering around their gardens in the summertime? I discovered they fly southward from Canada down to California taking advantage of the “thermal “warm air currents that help transport them down here in only 3 days. They follow their source of food the milkweed plants where they also lay their eggs. In Spring they migrate back up North again – the only insects to make both a North and South migration. I enjoy the varied colors and markings on their wings and their overall graceful and delicate design.

Mermaid - Hand Painted Art Tile
$45.95These mythological aquatic creatures have a human head with the torso of a woman and the tail of a fish. Derived from the old English word for sea (mer) and for a woman (maid) these legendary sirens of the sea are known to sing to sailors to enchant them. They are widely represented in literature and folklore and remain popular in our culture today. I perched my little blonde mermaid on a rock overlooking the sea.

Sahuaro Cactus
$45.95I lived in Tucson Arizona for many years and these magnificent tree-sized plants add a supernatural quality to the already "other worldly" landscape there. They are especially awesome to see at night when the moon casts shadows of them onto the desert floor.

Humpback Whale & Baby - Hand Painted Art Tile
$45.95Found in almost every ocean the Humpback whale migrates 16,000 miles each year from their Polar feeding grounds down to tropical waters where they breed and give birth. They feed only in Summer and fast all Winter long living off their fat reserves. The male produces a complex song lasting 10 – 20 minutes and is repeated for hours at a time. I have seen Humpbacks off the coast of Hawaii, Mexico and California. I am always so impressed by their sheer size and magnificence. Over-hunted their population fell by 90% until a 1966 moratorium was introduced. They are slowly coming back. My humpback has her calf swimming alongside her.

Sea Turtle - Hand Painted Art Tile
$45.95On my fist visit to Hawaii I was snorkeling and came upon a green sea turtle skimming gracefully and fast over the sandy white bottom. I tried to swim fast and see if I could touch him but he was a better swimmer than me. I was so inspired that when I came home I created this Green Sea Turtle tile in memory of him.

Sea Otter and Pup - Hand Painted Art Tile
$45.95Now I have first- hand experience with these guys! Along the California coast near Monterey I was able to put in my kayak and paddle amongst the kelp beds and saw several pods of sea otters floating atop the water. Some of them even had little pups on top of their stomachs as they floated on their backs in the water. They like to entangle themselves in the kelp beds to help anchor them. I saw and heard one of them using a rock to hit a mussel in order to open and eat it. They are considered an endangered species and have a very limited habitat.

Garlic - Hand Painted Art Tile
$45.95The truth be that we were trying to get accepted into the famous Garlic Festival in California and so I did a garlic design to increase our chances of getting into the show with our tiles. I couldn’t find a suitable picture of a garlic clove so I used one fresh one right out of my kitchen and it is amazing all the nuances of color that I found on that one little clove. It is my “plein air” garlic clove!
