The jaguar is in danger of extinction and urgently needs protection.  There are less than 50 living in the wild in Costa Rica. Poachers sell skin, teeth, bones, and other body parts.

"Hurican"

Natalie Lynn
acrylic on canvas.
40" x 47"

$14,800

This painting was done in tribute to and in loving memory of a jaguar named “Hurican.” Hurican lived at the wildcat refuge and inspired me to paint and make reports to help protect endangered species. 

This painting shows Hurican’s beautiful face with the image of an eagle in flight symbolizing his spirit being set free.  The jaguar shown on the right is keeping him company.  This painting reminds me of a Mayan legend that talks of the jaguar that turns into an eagle at night and travels through the underworld as the sun.

"Crane"

Natalie Lynn
acrylic on canvas
"22 x 25"

$2,650

Inspired by the image of this graceful bird in the water with its reflection. It is so still and peaceful.

This painting is about calmness and being totally present in the moment.  This way the bird simply stands and waits for fish comes to it.  This shows us that we do not have to struggle, that nature will provide if we are patient.  It is a reminder to be grateful for nature gives us so much.

The quetzal bird is significant in Mayan mythology—said to be the symbol of royalty with its ruby red and green tail feathers.  Quetzal feathers were used as a form of currency and the paper currency used today is also called the “quetzal.”  The bird is now extinct in Guatemala and most countries in Central America.  It can still be seen in the protected cloud forests of Costa Rica.
