Managed to finish it in between video editing sessions for the last watercolour painting (Asian Elephant). Ocelots are medium sized wild cats native to Central & South America.

Asian Elephant Watercolor
The second of three pieces I had planned for this week; the Asian Elephant (Elephas Maximus). The largest living mammal living throughout Asia (from India to Borneo) is currently classified as Endangered but their population is growing.

Polar Bear Watercolor
Another Polar Bear painting. I know I’ve done polar bears in the past but I’ve never tried painting one with watercolours and I felt like taking on a challenge. It actually turned out to be more challenging than I thought and it came out more yellow than I wanted but hey, live and learn.Unfortunately I […]
South Philippines Dwarf Kingfisher
The South Philippines Dwarf Kingfisher is a small bird species that until recently had remained largely hidden from sight.It had not been seen for around 130 years before an avid bird-watching eye surgeon managed to capture some great shots of this elusive subject.Its conservation status is currently listed as Vulnerable.

Mexican Grey Wolf
