"Ragnar"

Ragnar carries the wild heartbeat of the forest — fierce, grounded, and unyielding. Inspired by the pileated woodpecker, this piece channels the bird’s untamed energy and ancient rhythm, echoing through the trees like a call to awaken your own inner strength. Each stroke of paint feels alive with motion and intent, capturing the pulse of a creature that carves its path one deliberate strike at a time.

In Norse tradition, Ragnar means “warrior’s strength” — a fitting name for a bird that embodies both determination and grace. With flashes of crimson and dark feathered contrast, the painting becomes more than a portrait; it’s a spirit guide for resilience. It reminds us that power doesn’t always roar — sometimes it drums quietly through the heartwood of our days, urging us onward.

The original Ragnar has already taken flight to its new home, but its essence endures in high-quality giclée prints. Bring this forest guardian into your space as a symbol of courage, persistence, and untamed beauty — a reminder that within every quiet soul beats the spirit of the wild.
