Lions and Tigers and Dragons, oh my! All manner of creatures, from furry to feathered, scaled to smooth – fact, fiction and fantasy. There may be some pets in the mix, as they are fauna as well – if you wish to see only a selection of pet portraits, please direct your attention to that gallery.
Creature art to me is fascinating in its variety. There will be a number of styles below – cute simple owls and foxes, complex insects, stylized birds and dragons, and waaaay down at the bottom the wedding favors that started this whole woodworking endeavor.
