Sea Turtle - Hand Painted Art Tile

On 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.

Japanese Sandhill Cranes - Hand Painted Art Tile

I 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.

Rooster Head - Hand Painted Art Tile

I was looking through an antique, 19th century German art book of Black and White lithographs of various subject matters and objects that an artist might use in his endeavors. I came across this Rooster head image. We had a mean ornery rooster in our back yard for me to check out the colors and textures of his bright red waddle and golden eyes and feather colors.

Frogs - Hand Painted Art Tile

When I was traveling in Costa Rica I actually got to see some of these endangered frogs and I just loved their built-in tropical color schemes. They are wet little animals who live in the Rain Forest so I drew them dancing in the rain!

Penguin & Baby - Hand Painted Art Tile

The Emperor Penguins are the tallest and heaviest of all penguins (4 foot tall and 50 -99 lbs). They are the only penguin who breeds during the Antarctic Winter. They trek up to 75 miles over ice to mate and feed their offspring. They withstand temperatures of -40o F and winds of 89mph. The male incubates the sole egg for two months straight without eating anything @ all while the female returns to the sea to feed. Both the male and female lose 60% of their body weight while raising their offspring. Their fuzzy chick is covered with silvery grey down feathers to keep him cozy!
