Blog / 2020 / Beavers Build Ponds, Not Dams
September 28, 2020
All this reminds me of artists and how we don’t make art. We create something infinitely more interesting than artistic objects: we foster human understanding.
So far, my version of the Chinese zodiac includes a rabbit, a dragon, some snakes, a horse, a goat, a monkey, some female roosters, a kind of dog, and a pig. With the year of the rodent under my belt, I still have to paint an ox for 2021 and a tiger for 2022 to complete the full twelve years of my personal zodiac!
The original beaver painting is for sale for $1800 plus shipping—see all currently available artworks. There are prints and pretty things with this image in my Redbubble shop.
