If you are interested in reserving the original painting, email me at JasmineToad@aol.com and inquiries will be indexed according to the order of response. Still lots of work to do on this one – fruit, flowers etc….

I will also have prints, posters & canvas prints at strangeling.com soon.

Many other Limited Edition canvases of mine are nearing the sold-out point. The holiday rush really hit us hard this year and stock is dwindling on many of my most popular pieces (as well as some of my older works). If you have a favourite painting you have been keeping an eye out for, I would recommend ordering a Limited Edition Canvas sooner rather than later, because once they are gone - they are gone forever. Limited Edition Canvas prints can be ordered from my website -http://www.strangeling.com (in our Fine Art Prints shop, just click on the painting you'd like, and under the "Fine Art Prints: Choose an Option" dropdown box, select the Canvas option if available). Many can also be purchased from my eBay store in the Limited Edition Canvases section. Pop Gallery Exclusive Canvases are available through Pop Gallery at Disney World in Florida, and WonderGround Gallery Exclusives are available at Disneyland in California.

"Pandora" and "Seashell Princess" New Paintings from Jasmine
"Pandora"Original 16x20 Acrylic Painting $6400 - SOLDPandora Limited Edition Canvases & Signed Glossy Sale Prints are HERE
Another piece from my Myths & Mermaids show at Pop Gallery Orlando at Downtown Disney, Pandora is a new painting based on the "Pandora's Box" myth. In my interpretation, she has already opened the box and behind her is a scene inspired by medieval monsters and demons along the lines of Hieronymus Bosch, Bruegel, and Huys (representing the evils of humanity released from the box). Amidst all the chaos, the last critter out of the box is "Hope" - which I have chosen to represent as a glowing butterfly. The butterfly and the innocence of Pandora's soulful dark eyes make this a painting of hope, despite the evils of the world.The original painting herself sold at the show, but I have prints, posters & other merchandise available!
Limited Edition Canvas prints are available directly from me and are at Strangeling.com - 11x14", $125, hand embellished by me in acrylic paints, signed & numbered out of 25 ever made, wrapped on wooden boards & ready-to-hang.
