Meet Emma!



Last Spring I was fortunate to attend a field trip to the Philadelphia Zoo and snap a gorgeous photo of Emma the leopard.  I have been itching to paint her and have never done an oil painting of an animal and decided to take a stab at it with Emma.  Here is the photograph in which I captured this beautiful girl


 and then here are sneak peeks of her in my studio




 and the final product.




I'm extremely happy with how my first oil animal portrait turned out. I'm actually sketching more portraits. I think I will be doing a series of animal portraits over the winter :) It feels so so sooo good to be painting again. Its much needed therapy ♡
