Jaguar on the Prowl





It's been something of an up and down week. We started with a foot of snow and everyone in a bad mood. Then we had some fabulous spring days. Today my children and I even ate ice cream from the local ice cream cafe! Well you know me, I don't ever need an excuse to eat ice cream even if I'm wearing an anorak and snow boots.

I got stuck a few times in the snow and had difficulty digging myself out. I must say I am sick of the snow by now, I don't care how pretty it looks!

I had a bit of a creative explosion painting my jaguar in acrylic inks. He was the theme for my nature artist's group and I really enjoyed letting the inks run all over the place and make a huge mess as they dripped on the floor. But what is art if not creative mess. Love it!! The jaguar is available to buy in my Etsy shop.




I finished a lovely pet portrait for a lady whose cat Ellie had crossed over rainbow bridge. I was thrilled to see it in its lovely new home. I really do feel it is wonderful if I can recapture the memory of a beloved pet.




What a lovely review too:



How was your week? Has your snow thawed yet?

    That is a lovely review. It must be so good to feel you are making little memories. I love the wording 'rainbow bridge' that is something which I will adopt. Your jaguar has loads of energy!

    I love all the strokes of colors in your beautiful paintings Emma. We are SO sick of seeing snow too. We did have two days of upper 40's and 50 to melt much of it but that left us today as it is in the 30's again :( Happy PPF!

    Wonderful color in your animal paintings! And I'm glad you got some nice days and ice cream! (Nobody needs an excuse for ice cream!)
