Puffin Transformation (Art)

Sunday, January 16th, 2011

A wonderful piece by PatinaCollaborative on Etsy.com…

This canvas giclee measures 12″ x 39″ A giclee is an extremely high-quality fine-art print which offers higher image resolution and exact color matching. These giclee canvases are printed on an archival museum-grade poly-cotton. Each canvas is varnished with a water based coating that enhances the color of inks and protects the giclee against moisture and abrasion.

For the Love of Animals !

This is what this shop is about – my love of animals, painting them and selling art that helps protect them.

At eastwitching I am using my art to help people to appreciate animals and the integral part they have in our world. I hope to help raise awareness of animal rights, reduce suffering and cruelty by being able to donate what I can each month to several international charities as a result of sales on Etsy.

Pair of Puffins metal sculpture by Alison Catchlove

Thank you Alison for making such creative art and for choosing puffins as your subject not once, not twice but three times!
INTERESTING FACT
It was onced believed that a Puffin was a fish as well as a bird. People thought it was born from rotting piece of wood floating in the sea, instead of hatching out from an egg as we know it does today.
