All Creatures Great And Small
© C J Lewis, 2009. Oils on stretched canvas 16”x 20”.
This painting depicts my love of all animals including humans that leads me to want to reach out and awaken other’s as to the flow of energy in this world of which a lot seem to be ‘asleep’ to the understanding thereof.
IN A MENAGERIE
In this world it is for you to know
For you to choose as a guide
To follow the right
And not the wrong
For your life to continue on
So look around and go your way
Be fair and not unjust
To love ALL is what we need
To keep the flow
Of life’s long seed
For without love where would we be
But animals in this world’s menagerie.
© C J Lewis, 1970

Nadya Johnson
Outstanding work, CJ! I really like your style and enjoyed browsing through your page. I used to paint – it’s been awhile now – one week on Red Bubble, and I’m rather tempted to take it up again! Well, I’ll stick to the camera and Photoshop for now, but wow—coming here has been a major inspiration either way! Fantastic work!
C J Lewis replied
Hi Nadya,
Thank you so very much for your lovely comment. And, welcome to Redbubble. Yes, there are fabulous works on RB, so many very talented artists and very inspirational. I do some digital works but only have limited software, which unfortunately isn’t PS which seems to be a wonderful program … will have to look into getting it one day. Good to hear you use to paint … will get around to having a good look at your folio soon. Have fun :)
