The Wild and Unusual

Friday, June 8th, 2012

I moved to a very remote area of Indiana last fall.  I have especially enjoyed the wildlife in my forest.  I soon learned, however, that the animals at a nearby neighbor’s house are far more interesting.  I was invited over last evening for dinner and was greeted by their numerous dogs and cats and new little kitty.  But when I sat down in my lawn chair, I was handed a small cage with a baby squirrel in it.  During the visit there was also conversation about an alligator which they had as a pet for many years.  It grew from a baby to 6 feet!  It is sad that the pet gator died last year before I could meet her, but the stories are amazing and entertaining.  I think that time with my neighbors inspired me to look at canvases created of some unusual animals.  

I’ll start with a customer named James and his 14-month-old Coffin Cockatoo, Coral-Belle.  “Very photogenic and loves to pose for the camera!”

Then I’ll move right along to two canvases by Dannella.  One is of a wild pig in Brazil.  She explains that these are often kept in cages by Amazonian tribes.”  She also asked us to create a canvas of a fabulous picture she took of a peacock.  “This photo was taken in Prague, Czech Republic in a park off the Malostranská metro stop.  It’s home to several peacocks that roam around. This particular one was trying hard to impress a mate.”  Wow! Both of these images are amazing, Danella!  She goes on to say in her testimonial: “Canvas on Demand has done some fantastic work with my photos. Very well done.  I keep coming back to print more!”   

Edward sent us this photo and simply explained, “This is Jody and her one legged pigeon, Andy. I love the quality and very friendly staff.”

The final one is of a dog named Felton belonging to a friend of our customer, Linda.  Dog canvases come in to us often, but his one was unusual because Linda modified it in Photoshop.  “I have wanted to try putting my art on canvas for a long time. I even bought an expensive large format printer that prints on canvas but soon found the whole process overwhelming and could not get a decent print. I was also reluctant to spend even more money having someone else do it, but finally gave in when Canvas on Demand had a sale.  I thought that it would not really be the best quality, but I was astounded with the beautiful work you did with my photo! Canvas on Demand kept in touch with me throughout the process, notified me when it shipped, and followed up on the delivery….. I could not be more pleased with the whole entire process! Thanks guys for a job very well done!”  How fun, Linda!  And thanks for sharing how pleased you are.  It makes our day.

Bringing Nature inside with Canvas Prints

Peacock

It’s always satisfying to find customers who tell us about the interesting ways of expressing themselves through canvas prints. Here’s a great decorating idea for our nature enthusiasts.

When I first saw this flamboyant peacock canvas, I had to know more!   Nelson LeMarquand from Lutz, Florida, explained to me why he decided to bring a favorite piece of his back yard environment right into his home decor.   “These wonderful creatures stroll by our back door every morning, so I ordered this canvas to accent and personalize our living space.  ”

Nelson actually had several photos on canvas created from the original image that was taken by his friend, Craig W. Mellinger.     One is a large  40″ X 60″ showcase piece.     Nelson logged a testimonial on our website:   “Your guidance and suggestions have always been right on target.   We absolutely love our canvases!”   And we absolutely love that peacock, Nelson!

As Craig and Nelson have proven, canvas prints can personalize any living space by bringing the special people and places and events of our lives right into our individual decor.     What better way to create a friendly, personalized home or office environment than to share our lives with others who come to visit or work with us in that space.

Nelson and Craig have shown us how they were able to express themselves through a spectacular image of something they enjoy every day–right in their own back yard.   And they have reminded us that nature does NOT have to stay outdoors!     Mom

One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.
