These tiny apples were so cute I did several studies

Motherless children

"Bobcat"

I recently visited the Tucson Desert Museum Zoo and found this lovely female Bobcat. I have a hard time with Zoos in general, as these are wild creatures and should be in their own habitat, but I took the opportunity to photograph her and admire her beauty while there.
I have been pulled toward painting wildlife, and hope to do more. Painting fur has it's own special challenge and I have been studying anatomy of large cats. I still like to do portraits best though.

Crabby Appleton

I really like this one. Crab apples are so interesting

Finally I have started painting again. I like my treatment of the cherry tomatoes, but an not crazy about the cup. Need more practice.
