Being an Eclectic Artist

On the cat, I used the tutorial by NyelenehArt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bgfqkmhMUM

On the Jaguar/Lion promo photo, I used Oscraps elements from a Safari one, though, I might have picked up the jaguar from another. In any event, do you notice my artist style? Nope? Right! I am eclectic. Which means I’m still trying to figure it out, but I love trying new things. Constantly.

I’d love to be able to take my own pictures and turn them into watercolor scraps too. Anyway, the cat was from Pixabay, and so were the two texture layers I used, one of a galaxy, and one of just a gold texture. I have TONS of photos I’ve taken, so that is one quest I have. Among MILLIONS of others.

In the meantime, it’s back to proofing the book. I only managed to get 4 chapters read yesterday, baby here until late, and I just couldn’t get anything done.

Have a great day!!! I’m off to finish proofing the book no matter what, sending it to beta readers and starting on the Red Wolf novella. Just got a bear order for Germany too. Have fun!!!

Go Away!

I just want to sleep. Undisturbed.

Do you ever feel like this? Like you need your beauty rest and no one is letting you get it?

Love the big cats!

What is your favorite animal at the zoo?

Quiet Cougars

Nov7

At my zoo, the cougars are really active. But these two were lazing around, grooming themselves. They have a lovely exhibit, but from the original picture before I cut it down to focus on the cougars, it was really hard to see them.

In fact some others looking at the rocks thought they weren’t there.

Can you imagine coming across them in some canyon somewhere? Jaguars are not known to attack humans, but when it comes to tigers, lions and cougars, all bets are off.

Did You Know…?

Sep16

I’m certain you already knew this–isn’t everyone born knowing this? (My dad and mom’s favorite statement when something is soooo obvious)…but I was looking over some of my zoo pictures, and voila! Lions have spots!!!

Okay, so this is what I know: Jaguars and Leopards have spots (rosettes), and tigers have stripes, and lions… well, they’re supposed to be solid color! Or so I thought. So when did lions begin to have spots???

Maybe these are just really old lions and the spots aren’t like their natural coloration but… the dreaded–age spots.

🙂

So if you didn’t know it… lions and lionesses have spots.
