Spirit Animal

“Spirit Animal” is a captivating giclée on canvas by the talented Michael Summers, a piece that exquisitely blends the wild with the wonderful. This visually arresting work depicts a majestic tiger at rest, its stripes a colorful departure from the traditional—painted in a spectrum of hues that echo the rainbow rain from above. Alongside the tiger, a serene cat mirrors its posture, a symbol of domesticity and companionship, while another feline luxuriates in sleep upon the tiger’s back.

The scene is grounded by a strikingly gnarled tree, its branches adorned with cherry blossoms that add a soft, ethereal touch to the composition. Perched within this symbol of life and endurance sits yet another cat, attentive and poised, surveying the world from its elevated sanctuary.

Above them, the paint falls like a curtain of color, each drip a testament to the vibrancy of life and the boundless possibilities of imagination. The rain seems to celebrate the existence of these creatures, each one a spirit animal representing different facets of life’s tapestry—strength, curiosity, tranquility, and companionship.

“Spirit Animal” weaves a story that touches on the interconnectedness of all beings, the shared essence that animates the heart of the wild and the soul of the tame. It’s a piece that speaks to the animal within us all, the guiding spirits that reflect our innate nature and our journeys through life.

Ideal for those who seek a profound connection with the natural world or for anyone who appreciates the interplay of color and form, “Spirit Animal” is a reminder of the harmony that exists between the untamed and the domestic, the vibrant and the serene. It is an invitation to find one’s own spirit animal within the canvas of life.
