I haven't worked on the ivorine as much lately...that was fun to get back into as well. :D @Phillip - Perhaps that is an Eurasian Lynx? This is the listing in Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_Lynx Actually, I did have the chance to see some of these cats up close to study and take photos for reference. They were a pair that had been rescued from fur traders and had been taken to a sanctuary to live (the ones that I saw were slightly more gray in color than your photo). I saw so many cats that day...I will have to go take a peek in my albums to see what I have to work with... :D They are very beautiful cats. @Patrick - I always get into painting the subject like you are right there with them. I've done some landscapes and distance paintings, but the up close pieces are just such a draw for me. (I hope you are still painting... :) ) @Bob - Thank you! I really love painting fur and making the illusion of softness combine with the crisp fur texture. :D Thanks for visiting - Cheers @Doris – Thank you!

Amazing! You did this so well, it looks like you can put your hand up to it and feel the fur. Amazing!

I painted one of those back in the eighties, but not a close-up like yours. Continued success Rebecca, and may God Bless. Your painting of the Snow Leopard is absolutely fantastic Rebecca !

Perhaps you can paint a 'Lodjur' (in Swedish), I don't no what the english word is for that animal. But here is a link to a picture of it: http://www.bioresurs.uu.se/myller/fjall/fjall_bild/lodjur.jpg Thank's for all the great paintings you produce. Sincerely, Philip Sweden I like the snowleopard, that painting is very good.
