Beyond the Limit Archives - Larissa Davis https://larissadavis.com Create – Remember – Rise Thu, 05 Nov 2026 13:32:00 +0000 en-US hourly 1 Beyond the Limit https://larissadavis.com/product/beyond-the-limit/ Wed, 04 Nov 2026 23:05:18 +0000 https://larissadavis.com/?post_type=product&p=31993 The signature piece of my Beyond the Limit series. As the cheetah runs through an abstract landscape, poppies are pulled into the vacuum of its speed, and petals float in the air around it.

At first I did not know why poppies. But my earliest exposure to them was in The Wizard of Oz, where a field of poppies puts Dorothy to sleep to keep her from reaching her goal. Symbolically, the poppies do not stand a chance... nothing can stop this cheetah!

There is writing hidden underneath. Can you guess what it says?

48 x 36 inches. Original oil and pure gold leaf over mixed media on 1.5" deep stretched canvas. Signed on the front and back. Ready to hang.

Cheetahs can change direction in an instant. This one is mid-turn, the moment a new direction begins.
