Eye Catching Serval

These are also a very beautiful cat. Smaller that the tigers and lions of course, but you certainly would be wary of sticking your fingers in the cage. OUCH !
I found this one in the Austin Zoo a few years back. He (or she ?) was up against the bars, so I took the photo bars and all, and doctored it in Photoshop when I got home.
He was intent on something, certainly not me, he could have cared less about yet another gawker looking at him.
Simply stunning coat though, I loved painting him.

Oh, what a sweet kitty. I'd love to give him a big hug. You're work is incredible (as always).

Very nice Rae. Your animals are beautiful. I have some of the velour and I've been meaning to work on it but I'm currently obsessed with copper.

Donna, you should try this paper, it's wonderful (but tricky) to work on, I simply love it, thanks for your comments.
