Sometimes, when I see older works I've done, I'm inspired to give it another shot. The first feline portrait I did, was brought about by a friend who had an affinity for bobcats. Fur was kind of difficult to get down, especially with how much white is in the animal. So I wasn't thrilled with it, but it was a first good step in the right direction.
A year later, I was going through my stock and decided to give it another shot. I found a loverly image of a bobcat munching on a fish, so while I didn't want a muzzle full of fish ick...the photo was a beautiful close up. So I took it and ran with it. It's fun to see the changes that occur over the course of just a year. I'm excited to see how much it will change over the next 12 months!

Bobcats are strange little furballs though. Compact powerhouses yet just as agile as a housecat. Well...maybe not quite as agile. They do make quite a "whomph" when they land. While I'm still not convinced they can be easily mistaken for fat domestic cats, there are certainly enough of their half-breeded offspring floating around.
