Tiger 2010

blackmarket012010

Dear Everyone:

This is the last of my images

to be posted from my outing

on Saturday.

This mural of a tiger was

also on the exterior of the

very decorative facade

of the store "The Black Market'.

This image reminds me a bit of the

subject matter and style of

naive artist Henri Rousseau

(1844-1920). Rousseau

was self-taught but his talent

was recognized in his time

and Picasso for instance

championed his work.

Hope that you enjoy this image.

Helen.

Zoo series-tiger

This looks like it is my last image

on my zoo series.

The series was conceived to honour my sister-

a vet interested in conservation.

At one time she wished to be a zoo vet.

As well, she considered training to be a Noah.

Noah's train on the Channel islands in England.
Once trained they travel the world for free

as volunteers trying to help the plight

of endangered species of animals.

Finally, she did a lot of fund-raising for

the World Wildlife fund.

I hope that you enjoyed the series.

Have an-altruistic-kind of day.

Helen.
