Description
This beautiful artwork is part of Dr. Michael Durst’s series of Spirit Animals or Guides. Many people feel a kinship with a particular animal which provides a sense of guidance and inspiration.
The Rhino is a powerful animal that represents power, substance, solidity, and stamina. Invite the guidance of this spirit animal and let yourself be filled with its greatness. When the rhinoceros spirit animal appears to you, it’s telling you that things are not what they appear to be. You need to delve deeper to know the truth and look beyond the masks that people wear. Are you seeing lack instead of abundance?
This animal is here to remind you to appreciate the expansive bounty that surrounds you. Stop and give thanks to the infinite miracles occurring in every moment of your life. Use your spiritual eyes, not your physical eyes to see the truth and maintain a close connection with “Mother Earth” as you expand your inner knowledge to a whole new level.
IF RHINOCEROS IS YOUR SPIRIT ANIMAL:
You are for the most part a solitary and wise person choosing to spend a great deal of time alone. You enjoy the comfort of your own company and are comfortable with yourself. You have a very close relationship with the ancient wisdom of your soul and have a lot to share about what is real and how to live. For the most part you are a self made success and an achievement seeking powerhouse in your chosen field. Being a workaholic is a natural part of who you are.
White rhinos are the second largest land mammal after the elephant. Adult males tip the scales at a massive 3.6 tons. Females are considerably smaller but can still weigh in at an impressive 1.7 tons.
White rhinos are also known as the square-lipped rhinoceros due to their square (not pointed) upper lip. Their name comes from the Afrikaans word “weit”, which means wide and refers to the animal’s muzzle.
Compared to black rhinos, white rhinos have a longer skull, a less sharply defined forehead and a more pronounced shoulder hump. They have almost no hair and two horns. The front horn averages two feet, but occasionally reaches five feet in length.
The white rhino is a major conservation success story, having been brought back from the very brink of extinction. But the current surge in poaching for their horns, particularly in South Africa, has seen record numbers killed in recent years. That is why a portion of the sales of this artwork is donated to the Save the Rhino International.
A Master Edition of this work is available. These are limited to 10 Editions only. Utilizing lustrous textures, vivid patterns, bold colors, and light radiance, the process involves dozens of carefully designed, richly colored layers, to create jewel-like images that inspire and delight. Each is gallery-wrapped, i.e. painted on all sides, so there is no need to frame it unless desired. It is then hand signed and numbered by the artist and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, making it a unique work of art. Allow up to two weeks for delivery.
